Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have stared faced over the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they have not been gambling very long. This does not mean obviously that each and every one has gone on tilt in the past, a few people have great control and take their losses as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a strong poker gambler, it is especially critical to approach your wins and your losses in the same way – with little emotion.

You’ve burned $80 in a hand where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 edge. And that guy! He bled you dry on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh gambler to start tilting. They basically lost too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re angry
