Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have looked down the barrel of an approaching steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been playing very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting.
