Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states never to have looked down the barrel of an approaching steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering very long. This doesn’t mean of course that every player has gone on steam in the past, a handful of people have awesome willpower and carry their squanderings as a loss and keep it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s extremely critical to approach your successes 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 choice for a new bettor to start tilting. They really just blew too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they’re aggravated
