In Advance of a Tilt
Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have peered over the shadow of a looming tilt – they are either lying or they have not been playing very long.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential choice for a fresh player to start tilting. They basically burned too much money on one round that they should have won and they are pissed
