In Advance of a Tilt

Ah, the poker tilt. If a poker player claims never to have stared faced over the shadow of an approaching poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been competing very long. This does not indicate of course that everyone has been on tilt in the past, some players have great willpower and take their losses as a loss and leave it at that.
