Ah, the steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have peered down the shadow of an approaching tilt – they are either telling a lie or they have not been wagering very long. This doesn’t infer of course that every poker player has been on steam in the past, a number of people have excellent control and take their losses as a hit and keep it at that.

He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic opportunity for a brand-new player to begin tilting. They basically burned too much money on one round that they really should have won and they are angry
