Before you Tilt

Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered over the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been betting long enough. This doesn’t infer of course that each and every one has been on tilt in the past, a few people have awesome willpower and take their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that.
