Ah, the steam. If a poker player states never to have stared faced over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been playing very long.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They really just lost too much money on one hand that they really should have won and they’re aggravated
