Steaming - The condition of being stuck and on tilt.
Often, when a player is losing, their disposition becomes poor and they lose their discipline. Some players will get
downright mean and angry. Players in this condition are “stuck and steaming,” or more commonly “steaming.” Obviously,
steaming does not promote optimum play. Players who are steaming tend to bet, call, and raise when they shouldn’t, in a
desperate attempt to get their money back. They also tend to say things to the other players that they probably
shouldn’t. Usually, players who steam are just going to make the situation worse for themselves. Even professionals are
susceptible to this behavior. This is an area which requires mental discipline and self control. If you feel yourself
getting hot, you are probably steaming, and it is time to take a break from the game until you can compose yourself.
