Being shown a bluff shouldn't make me tilt. Any good poker player has to accept that the cards don't always run their way, even when the odds seem right. Some days you catch a bad beat, some days the fish catches a fluke. The key is not letting it impact how I play the next hand.
Getting called on a bluff only proves that I misread my opponent, bluffed at the wrong time or place. It wasn't an unwinnable hand, I just played it wrong. So I look the guy who called in the eye, tip my hat, and say “well played.” Admit I made the mistake and try to learn from it for next time.
Tilting just leads to reckless play. I get animated too easily, start making wild plays to get my money back, start missing opportunities that I normally would snap up. In the end, it'll only dig my hole deeper. So I keep my cool, stay patient, and look forward to stacking chips on the next hand rather than wasting time dwelling on what went wrong the last. Professionals don't tilt at all.
