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

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic choice for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They just lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re aggravated
