Ah, the tilt. If a poker gambler claims never to have looked down the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering for a long time. This does not imply of course that every player has gone on steam in the past, some people have excellent control and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that.
