Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have peered over the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been wagering for a long time. This does not imply of course that every player has been on tilt in the past, a number of people have excellent control and carry their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new player to start tilting. They just lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re angry
