Just Before you Tilt
Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims never to have peered down the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering for a long time. This doesn’t indicate of course that everyone has been on steam before, a number of people have great willpower and take their squanderings as a defeat and keep it at that.
