Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been playing long enough. This doesn’t imply obviously that every poker player has been on tilt before, some people have excellent willpower and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They just lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re agitated
