Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have looked down the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing long enough. This does not infer of course that every player has gone on tilt before, some people have awesome control and take their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential choice for a new player to start tilting. They just burned too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re pissed
