Ah, the poker steam. If a poker enthusiast claims at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an upcoming poker steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been betting long enough. This doesn’t indicate of course that every player has been on steam before, a few people have great willpower and carry their losses as a hit and leave it at that.
