Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced over the barrel of an approaching tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been wagering long enough.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They basically burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they are angry
