Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced down the shadow of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been betting long enough. This doesn’t infer of course that every player has gone on steam in the past, a handful of people have excellent control and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a fresh player to start tilting. They really just burned too much $$$$ on one hand that they should have won and they are pissed
