Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have peered over the barrel of an upcoming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering for a long time. This doesn’t indicate obviously that everyone has been on steam in the past, a number of people have excellent control and take their losses as a loss and keep it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They really just burned too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
