Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they are either lying or they have not been betting for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
