You have burned $80 in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that amateur! He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They just lost too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they’re pissed
