Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered over the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they have not been gambling for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
