If a poker gambler states never to have stared faced over the barrel of a looming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh player to begin tilting. They really just lost too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re angry
