Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced over the barrel of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they really should have won and they’re agitated
