Ah, the tilt. If a poker enthusiast states never to have stared faced over the barrel of an upcoming steam – they are either lying or they have not been wagering for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a new gambler to begin tilting.
