Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling very long. This does not imply of course that every player has been on tilt in the past, a few people have great control and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that.
