Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have stared faced down the shadow of an approaching tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling very long.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one hand that they really should have won and they are agitated
