Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming poker tilt – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing very long. This does not mean of course that each and every one has gone on steam before, a number of people have awesome control and take their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a new bettor to begin tilting. They just blew too much money on one round that they should have won and they are pissed
