Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked over the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been wagering long enough.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They basically burned too much money on one hand that they should have won and they are angry
