Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims never to have looked down the shadow of a looming tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing for a long time.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new bettor to start tilting. They really just blew too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are aggravated
