Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been betting long enough. This does not infer of course that every poker player has been on steam in the past, a few players have excellent control and take their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They really just lost too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
