Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler states never to have looked down the barrel of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They just blew too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are angry
