Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been wagering long enough.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They really just burned too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
