Before you Tilt

Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling long enough. This doesn’t indicate obviously that every poker player has been on tilt before, a number of people have great willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s extremely crucial to appraise your successes and your losses in an identical manner – with no emotion.
