Tilt

Posted by locks on November 7, 2006

I never noticed until today how much emotional stability played a part in poker. Yea, sure everyone discusses keeping your cool after bad beats but my friend defines what not to do after you take a rough one. I know my friend is a decent player. As a matter of fact, if there was a poker bell curve, I can honestly say that he lands on the above average WHEN he’s in the correct state of mind. Tilt is not even an animate object. You can’t touch tilt but apparently it’s very close by because it caused him to play recklessly. Reckless play and complaints about why me. Why do they suck out on me? Why do they call me down? Why? Why? Why? Last night he had a bankroll. Today, his opponents padded there bankrolls. I just hope I don’t catch a case of the tilts.
