In Advance of a Tilt

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have looked down the shadow of an approaching steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting long enough. This does not infer of course that every player has been on steam in the past, a few players have great willpower and take their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker gambler, it is extremely critical to approach your successes and your defeats in an identical way – with little emotion.

You have squandered $80 in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you went all-in on the flop and enjoyed a ten to one edge. And that guy!
