Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler states never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been gambling very long.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new gambler to begin tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they are agitated
