Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states never to have looked down the barrel of an approaching poker steam – they’re either lying or they have not been gambling very long. This does not indicate obviously that everyone has gone on steam in the past, a few people have excellent willpower and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a brand-new player to begin tilting.
