Just Before you Tilt

Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have stared faced over the barrel of an approaching tilt – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling very long. This doesn’t indicate of course that each and every one has gone on tilt in the past, some players have excellent control and carry their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that.
