Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have looked over the shadow of a looming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing very long. This doesn’t imply obviously that every poker player has gone on steam in the past, a handful of people have wonderful willpower and carry their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a great poker player, it’s absolutely important to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They just lost too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
