Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have stared faced over the barrel of an approaching poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time. This does not indicate of course that every poker player has been on steam in the past, some players have great willpower and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential choice for a new bettor to begin tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
