Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states at no time to have peered down the barrel of an upcoming tilt – they’re either lying or they haven’t been competing long enough. This does not mean obviously that everyone has gone on steam before, a number of people have great control and take their losses as a defeat and keep it at that. To be a brilliant poker player, it is absolutely important to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with little emotion.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right here. This is a classic choice for a fresh gambler to begin tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they are angry
