Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player states never to have stared faced over the barrel of an approaching steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They really just blew too much money on one round that they really should have won and they’re pissed
