Just Before you Tilt

Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting for a long time. This does not indicate obviously that everyone has gone on steam before, a handful of players have excellent control and take their squanderings as a hit and keep it at that.
