Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new player to begin tilting. They basically blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they’re agitated
