Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states never to have looked down the barrel of a looming poker steam – they are either lying or they have not been competing very long.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to begin tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
