Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming steam – they’re either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time. This doesn’t imply obviously that each and every one has gone on steam before, a number of players have awesome willpower and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that. To be a powerful poker player, it is especially important to approach your successes and your defeats in a similar manner – with no emotion.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a new gambler to start tilting. They really just lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
