In Advance of a Tilt

Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have looked over the shadow of an approaching steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been competing for a long time. This does not infer of course that everyone has been on tilt before, a handful of players have excellent willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that.
