In this episode, Valerio and Ray explore a common form of tilt: losing a big pot and immediately wanting your chips back. It’s a natural human reaction — if you lose something valuable, you want to recover it as soon as possible. But in poker, those chips are no longer yours, and chasing them can lead to poor decisions and even bigger losses. They discuss why this emotional trap is so powerful, how it affects your strategy, and what you can do to stay focused on the long game.
