Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states at no time to have looked over the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time. This does not indicate obviously that everyone has been on tilt in the past, a few people have great willpower and carry their losses as a defeat and keep it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new bettor to start tilting. They basically lost too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re aggravated
