Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler states never to have looked over the barrel of a looming poker steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing long enough. This doesn’t mean of course that every player has gone on steam before, some players have wonderful control and carry their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s absolutely important to appraise your wins and your defeats in the same manner – with no emotion.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They basically lost too much cash on one round that they really should have won and they’re pissed
