Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have looked down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been betting very long.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They basically blew too much money on one round that they should have won and they’re aggravated
