Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast states at no time to have looked over the shadow of a looming poker steam – they’re either telling a lie or they have not been gambling very long.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a classic choice for a new bettor to begin tilting. They really just burned too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
