We all know (or should) that tilt is the #1 way to lose your money, all your hard earned money you made in a month can easily be lost in a few hours when your on tilt:

Common ways to end up on tilt:

1. Folding to a large bet only to have your opponent turn over a horrible hand (being shown a bluff).
2. Being bluffed by a small bet (a post oak bluff).
3. Having an opponent “suck out,” or catch a miracle card late in the hand (an unlikely out-draw).
4. Having what you think is a dominating hand bested by an even more powerful hand that you never saw coming.
5. Having an all-in showdown with a strongly superior hand preflop and losing.


Just remember that bad beats are part of the game, try to keep personal issues aside, don't go looking to get your chips back from the person that took most of yours.

Being able to know when your on tilt is what makes a great poker player. Not only do people go on tilt in actual game, when they are playing bad hands they wouldn't before, but also when you actually lose tournaments and try to win your money back by being too aggressive.

To be a good poker player you have to be able to handle large losses, be disciplined and get the thought of instant money out of your head.

Just to make it short. A player must never show any signs of bad cards to his/her opponents because this will give the opponent that you have a bad card.

Easier said than done though. When you've just lost a stack of cash to one guy, it's so tempting just to go after him and make him pay. This of course would be detrimental though to your game because you start playing only mediocre cards and take on a looser game in general.

You must know when you have to quit or else you will end up loosing more than you already did. Quitting doesn’t mean that you are afraid of something; sometimes it only means that you are smart.

I don't know. I used to go to partypoker web site and play and people always accused others of "scanning" and cheating. I didn't think those types of programs really existed until I went to ebay and seen that they sold them. It showed a picture of the poker table and what you would see if you had that program, and you could see everyone's cards. I closed my real money account after that.

It occurred to me after re-reading this that I never answered the "HOW" part. If you are going to toss out a bluff because you suspsect people are week, here are a couple things to think of:

1 - The more people in the pot, the less likely a bluff will work. (Not always, though. Sometimes you can sense weakness in 5 players ahead of you!)

2 - Just place your bet as if you were betting a good hand. If you really think that the 8-8-K flop feels like the right time to bet, just imagine how much you would bet if you had a King or an 8.

3 - Try your best to think of something else. Make note of any fidgiting or facial expressions you're doing and try not to do them.
