..dealing with 'tilt'

Its a part of the game and affects us all, knowing how to deal with it is important if you want to be a winning player.

There's a book out there called "Your Worst Poker Enemy", written by a guy named Schoonmaker who's a psychologist and a poker player.

Its a very interesting read and it'll help you address the mental side of your game if its of concern to you.

I am just about finished with "the poker mindset", pretty good for your all around mental approach to the game including tilt.

Well just let your partner or mates know so there can keep you off the computer .... Just go relax

Everyone has gone on tilt at least once. I lost my entire bankroll on tilt once. It was only 50 dollars though so not a big deal. And I started with 10. I play cheap, but yeh. Cash tables really induce tilt. Very hard to break your bankroll tilting on tournaments compared to cash tables.

my brother had the same problem ;he lost his entire bankroll (about 90 bucks ) in a single night going on tilt ....but now he learn how to control himself ....a good cigar and a time out seems to work for him ...it's important to know to stop when u are losing and to keep playing when u are winning
