Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler states at no time to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been playing for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
