Ah, the steam. If a poker player states never to have looked down the shadow of an upcoming poker tilt – they’re either lying or they have not been betting very long.

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