Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states at no time to have stared faced over the barrel of a looming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing long enough.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a new bettor to start tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they are agitated
