In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked over the shadow of a looming tilt – they are either lying or they have not been playing very long. This does not infer obviously that every player has gone on tilt before, some people have great control and carry their losses as a defeat and leave it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh bettor to start tilting.
