Generally speaking, I rarely get on tilt. Bad run of cards? Just how the game goes. Someone catches runner runner when trying to float? Happens once in a while and I'm guilty of dishing out the same. These are what I believe to just be a part of poker.
What really puts me on tilt is a certain demeanor. There's some people who are just there for laughs, joke around and I'm fine with that. But there's others that just think they're genuinely badass. Who have animated reactions when winning a pot, having confidence is one thing but douchery is a whole other level. And I admit, these guys are like my kryptonite. I widen my range against them and try to outplay them every chance I get.
Specifically speaking, I play mid-high stakes live tournaments. I'm not a profitable player when it comes to cash but sometimes, I have to go to the casino early to register or have some time to kill in between tournaments. To kill time, I play 1/2 $40 buy-in NLHE. Most of the players are genuinely pleasant to play with but there's a few douches that just think they own the game. Like c'mon, you're playing the lowest of low buy-ins AND you think you're a genuine badass.
So, what puts you on tilt?
