This is something ive learnt over time is pretty donkish and ofcourse it doesnt bother me if I folded rags.
but if I opt to fold a very playable hand like a suited connector or a reasonably good broadway type hand late in a tournament.

il use an example down to the last 50 players of an mtt 150/250 players average almost call with a hand like 89s and flop open ended and a flush draw on the flop for reasonably cheap.
having played that hand would of catipulted you into a top 3 spot.

then yea I have found myself tilting this week. Does anyone ever fall victim of this kind of tilt?

I pretty much know how to mindset myself into not being bothered if it happens I just wondered if this is commen to effect your a game and leave you steaming to want that double up you could of been sitting with

nice thread, i always think about it, yesterday i was playing the big 2.20 and i was utg with Ts9s, my stack was like 15k and blinds 400/200 but there were two players LAG and with bigger stacks and i didn´t want to limp so i fold

5 players enter the pot limping, the flop went like 8sJhTc, everybody checks, turn 6s, everybody bets 800, river 7s and the action began,

*one of the villains (the winner) held As4s for the flush

*two villains held a nine for the straight

*the fourth had 77 for a set

so they put all together like 60k in chips in the middle but i could carried the pot with the straight flush and increased my stak to around 75k (among the leders of the mtt)

instead, i tilt for the next ten hands and then i went allin with queens and busted against the guy who won the big pot and who couldd be busted earlier!!

I used to, but learned to try not paying attention to cards gone. One of the reasons I like Zoom, you can get away from it.

i get annoyed when i realize i would have flopped quads, or the nut straight or whatever, but i really try to remind myself that i folded for a reason, and stick with my decision. if i start doubting the plays i make then i'll just play scared in the future. i do find it funny when i fold rags and it turns out i would have flopped a boat though. i like to think "what if i would have called? i can just imagine the looks on their faces when i turn over my hand, haha" seriously though, i try my best to stay as even keeled as possible, regardless of what happens.

I used to, but tell myself now that more often that I will miss. Can't start chasing and bleeding chips.

Yes it does bother me sometimes.

It bothers me WAY more when I am say BB and have J2 off.

I have 12bb and need to get chips.

It goes limp limp limp all the way around, and I am getting ready to check and see a flop but low and behold... SB shoves. I fold and he gets 1 caller who is holding 10s against the SB shoving with Q7 off.

The flop comes JJ2, 10, 8. And I would have made a huge comeback.

Made that hand up, but it has happened so many times to me (and I am sure others).


Those situations where basically 1 person screws you out of that 1 get out of jail free card situation that appears in tourneys frequently..

Hell yeah of course I tilt when I fold a decent hand becaue of some donkish raise only to find out I flop trips . Tilt happens quite more often in tourneys when down to only a few. It's poker , all games are like this at some point, for example like the casino, I flip out when I wanted to play on a machine or just left the machine and someone else jump on it and hit jackpot but casino is a total differnet ball game than poker.

That's why there's site like these and books and other stuff to help you control your self and stay focused along the way. It will always happen and some point you will find yourself tilting, there's not one pro out there who can tell me they never titled but like I said to get better we all have to go through it and learn.

Worrying about the result will always put you on tilt.

All you can do is make the right decision for the situation you're in. The result is irrelevant. Took me a while to realise that but now i have i don't go on tilt in theses situation's

It doesn't tilt me per se, I do like roll my eyes if I am like sitting on the BB with Q5o and its been raised so I fold and the flop is Q 5 2 with no SD or FD lol. I know if I called it I wouldn't hit the flop.

The only thing that tilts me is me playing badly, not running badly.

I too often gets frustrated if I should have entered the pot. But It doesnt affect my play afterwards.
I just thought that even if I enter the pot, will it be the same flop that will appear? I dont know how their rng works but I will just think this way so that it will not impact me much.

That situation happens at any level. Generally, you save chips by folding marginal hands when confronted by big raise before you act. The flop really determines everything, that is why you should never overlook the opportunity to get in the flop cheaply and luckily form a nut or near nut hand. Your stack will also determine your calling ability, if you are short stacked you don't want to destroy your stack by drawing down to the river and having to fold with nothing.

Interesting replies guys.
i totally get that the best decision is all that matters. Cash games it doesn't bother me.

but in a big mtt close to the big pay outs and your gut is telling you make a raise!!! Or call
but sub consciously you know folding is best.

you cant help but feel spewy that trebling up would of put you into 3 or 4 figure prize positions.

The thing I always remember is watching gripsed mtt winners and how small their chip stacks had been at one point relitively late in the tournament

'IF' you're thinking through each decision & feel you're making the correct play given the info. & circumstances, why would you ever beat yourself up because of how the cards fall?

Im playing more so recreational now where as I was grinding 4-6 tables 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week.
so my sessions tend to be soley focused on one or 2 specific games once or twice a week.

as stated above just curious who feels that tilt. Its only really specific situation close to the big money when you opt against your gut feeling for the technically correct decision.

we all get that gut feeling sometimes you know it feels right then you see the outcome which could of resulted in reaching FT

Quite frankly not really seeing any point to worrying about what might have happened, just seems like a waste of energy to me.......scorp

Wouldn't say tilt but I'm currently playing in a tourney where I folded pre & wouldve had a FH, 3 nut flushes, 1 str8 flush, 1 quad 5's, and 4 winning straights and a few trips.

Frustrating to say the least especially the few hands I've played I've been in with the best hand then got rivered.

Haha if I had a penny for everytime that happen I'd be rich lol. I don't usually tilt to loose control over the game, but I do that like when I'm in the last 3 and get sucked out by river with a decent hand. Just the thought of knowing you sat through hundreds of players and missed the big payout by that.

It only bothers me when I was planning to play the hand, but a pre-flop raise or 3bet induces my fold. It's especially annoying when the raiser had a weak hand. But it only bugs me for bit. I don't think I've tilted over it.

I'm usually multi-tabling, so after I fold I don't see what happens with the rest of the hand. It keeps me from second guessing myself.

Regretting folding rags is n000b mindset.
You need to play smart, not lucky.
Then again, I am starting to think it's worth seeing the flop with rags when cheap, no raises.

It´s hard to grasp when it happens several times in a row ,start to question my folds and the urge to take some risks builds up .but it´s when reason must prevail and keep on playing by the book
Easier to say then to do some times emotional bets rational

I always tell myself if your not folding the winning hand once in a while your playing to many hands.So I never let the fact that I just folded a hand that flopped the nuts bother me to much and feel like I will have other chances to gain chips. And just because I missed one chance at gaining a good pot dosn't mean I wont win still.
