Ah, the steam. If a poker player claims never to have peered down the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been wagering for a long time. This does not imply of course that each and every one has been on steam before, a number of people have awesome control and take their squanderings as a hit and leave it at that.

He banged you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a brand-new bettor to start tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are agitated
