I’ve been playing poker for 23 years, and one thing I can say about my play with great pride is that I never steam.

In fact, that’s true of a lot of pros. In general, the more experienced a player is, the less likely he or she is to have a steam factor.But because your opponents might not realize that you don’t go on tilt, one of the most profitable plays in poker is the "fake steam". 

In the second week of the 2004 Series, I just missed a final table, finishing eleventh in a $2,000 Limit Hold’em event.

Daniel (Negreanu) went on to win that tournament for his third bracelet. What I remember most about that tournament was a hand that came up about eight hours into Day One. "Syracuse Chris" Tsiprailidis had pocket queens, Cecilia Reyes Mortensen was dealt pocket kings, and I looked down at two aces.
