A subject I rarely read about, or hear players talking about enough is your opponents' Steam Points.
Their steam point is the time where they lose control, where they've had enough. They begin throwing their chips into the pot, as if to say, "I'm sick of this... take them, I'm going to keep losing them anyways!"
We should always be keeping an eye out for this very lucrative opportunity. When do they begin steaming their $$ away, why do they begin steaming it away, and how can we take advantage of their lack of discipline?
Too often, we focus solely on our own steam, and how not to (which is important), but it sometimes doesn't allow us to exploit the emotional weakness of our opponent. Looking for, knowing why, and understanding our opponents steam points is a huge part of what fills our pockets in the long-term.
When the steam begins... boiling has to follow!
Thoughts?
