Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states never to have peered over the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been betting long enough. This doesn’t imply obviously that each and every one has been on tilt before, a few people have wonderful willpower and carry their losses as a loss and leave it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it’s especially important to approach your wins and your defeats in an identical manner – with no emotion.
