Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have stared faced down the barrel of an approaching poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time.

He banged you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new gambler to start tilting.
