Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been betting long enough.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just blew too much money on one round that they really should have won and they’re angry
