Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have peered over the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been competing very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They basically blew too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
