Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked over the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been competing very long. This does not indicate of course that every player has gone on steam in the past, some people have wonderful willpower and take their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a good poker gambler, it’s especially crucial to treat your wins and your losses in the same way – with little emotion.

Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a large blow in a NL game and your bankroll is down to one hundred and twenty dollars. You’ve burned eighty dollars in a round where you should have picked up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and had a ten to one advantage. And that amateur! He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new player to start tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
