Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced down the barrel of an upcoming steam – they’re either lying or they have not been playing for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting.
