Ah, the tilt. If a poker player claims at no time to have stared faced down the barrel of a looming poker tilt – they are either lying or they have not been competing long enough. This doesn’t imply of course that every poker player has gone on steam before, a number of people have excellent control and take their squanderings as a loss and leave it at that.
