Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the barrel of an approaching poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been wagering for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are angry
