Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked down the shadow of a looming steam – they’re either lying or they have not been gambling long enough. This does not mean of course that everyone has been on tilt in the past, a handful of players have excellent willpower and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a brand-new gambler to start tilting. They really just burned too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
