Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have looked down the barrel of an upcoming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been gambling long enough. This doesn’t infer of course that everyone has been on tilt before, some players have wonderful control and carry their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They basically lost too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re aggravated
