Right Before you Tilt
Ah, the steam. If a poker player states never to have looked over the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new player to start tilting. They just lost too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they are pissed
