Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked over the shadow of an approaching poker steam – they are either lying or they have not been competing very long. This doesn’t indicate obviously that each and every one has gone on steam in the past, a few people have awesome control and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that.
