Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have looked over the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering very long.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They really just lost too much money on one round that they should have won and they are pissed
