Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been competing for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they’re angry
