Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have peered over the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a new player to begin tilting. They just lost too much money on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
