Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the barrel of an upcoming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time. This doesn’t imply obviously that every player has gone on tilt in the past, a handful of people have wonderful control and take their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to begin tilting. They just burned too much money on one round that they should have won and they’re pissed
