Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player states never to have peered down the shadow of an upcoming steam – they are either telling a lie or they haven’t been playing for a long time.

He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right there. This is a quintessential choice for a brand-new gambler to start tilting.
