Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered over the shadow of a looming tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been competing for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just lost too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they are agitated
