Exorcise those demons
Tilt and the art of anger management

Tilt is your worst nightmare – you play badly, lose money and everyone takes the piss. So how do you keep a cool head when the chips are down? Rick ‘The Rage’ Dacey reveals all

Picture the scene: You’re on the button and you find a pair of regal Kings as your freshly dealt hole cards. A tasty raise sees only the big blind call and with a K-8-3 rainbow flop you’re laughing. Cue the fireworks – you’ve hit top set and decide to trap with a checkraise. Glory be, your opponent takes the bait and bets into you. Holding the nuts at this stage, you re-raise them all-in, figuring that they’re holding the fourth King, or possibly an Ace, both of which make them a gigantic underdog. With a shrug of their shoulders they call and turn over… Q ♥ -8 ♥ !
