Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an upcoming steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering long enough.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They basically blew too much cash on one hand that they really should have won and they’re angry
