Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a new player to begin tilting. They really just lost too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they’re angry
