Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have stared faced down the shadow of a looming steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been competing for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a new player to start tilting. They just blew too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are pissed
