Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing long enough.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
