Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states never to have stared faced down the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been wagering for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic choice for a new gambler to begin tilting. They really just lost too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they are aggravated
