Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked down the shadow of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re agitated
