This happens as a result of poor play due to being emotionally upset. This could be a result of missing cards, playing poor hands, or playing more hands than you normally would play.

SoundPoker Says: This type of situation is very similar to a player who is on tilt. Emotions begin to dictate your strategy and you play with clouded judgment, chasing cards when you shouldn't and playing hands you normally wouldn't. If you ever feel the steam coming on it is very wise to take a break from the table and regain your composure. If you are playing an opponent who is on tilt/steaming, try to make it as profitable as possible.

IN BRIEF: What water becomes when it reaches the boiling point.

Be careful taking the lid off the pot, steam can burn you.

Seeing and hearing steam in a dream may symbolize the dreamer's emotional state about an issue or situation. To have a "head of steam" about something means to be full of resolve and ready to proceed full steam ahead with a great deal of personal power to accomplish whatever is to be done. Alternatively, it may indicate anger about someone or some situation and the need to "let off steam."
