Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims never to have peered over the shadow of a looming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been gambling for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a classic opportunity for a fresh bettor to start tilting. They basically blew too much cash on one round that they should have won and they are aggravated
