In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states at no time to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been gambling for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a brand-new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are pissed
