Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast states never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been playing very long. This doesn’t imply obviously that everyone has been on steam in the past, some players have awesome willpower and take their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a new bettor to begin tilting. They really just lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they’re agitated
