Ah, the poker steam. If a poker gambler states never to have peered down the barrel of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been competing very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new player to start tilting. They just burned too much cash on one hand that they should have won and they are angry
