Ah, the tilt. If a poker player states at no time to have peered over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they are either lying or they haven’t been playing long enough. This doesn’t mean obviously that everyone has gone on tilt in the past, a few players have wonderful willpower and carry their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that.
