Ah, the steam. If a poker player states at no time to have looked down the shadow of an approaching steam – they are either lying or they have not been betting very long. This does not imply obviously that everyone has been on steam in the past, a few people have wonderful willpower and carry their squanderings as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a strong poker player, it’s extremely crucial to treat your successes and your defeats in an identical manner – with no emotion. You compete in the game the same way you did after taking a hard loss like you would after winning a great hand.

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