Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing long enough.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They really just burned too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re angry
