Poker Tilting

Hi, any tips on how to get less tilted while playing poker?
Just watched this and realized thats me all over!

Play comfortable limit

First, realise that you are on tilt. Once you know that, you can start detecting NATs (negative automatic thoughts) which are ruining your game. Once you know what thoughts you are having, you can combat them.

Most of all, just relax. Just because of a bad beat there's no need to shove a low pocket pair or any suited connectors, losing that will just make the tilt worse

I try to follow very strict rules in order to avoid tilt (if I go on tilt I don't play for some time the specific kind of game that made me go on tilt or generally no game for one day or more ) , but unfortunatelly sometimes I don't afford to deal with it and I make mistakes and ofcourse I lose more money . I even go on tilt on freerolls sometimes
Tilt is very bad

Generally people like that play outside of their comfort limits, after someone pays, they get crazy if they end up losing, if they do not know how to play, they do not go down to the playground lol

We are individuals, and respond to different stimuli in different ways. There is probably something you can do in order to tilt less, but how could I know what that might be? I don't know anything about you. Just try to play your best game, and, in time, with patience, you will probably find the answer yourself.

For me it's better to play at home online in comfort and silence, I like quiet peace and tranquility and when the game does not go it's better to take a break from the game or play less on cards that are not worth playing and wait for an excellent card and win and be on top

Yeah play at your comfort zone and same as with the poker stacks. I should get really nervous or on tilt If I know that I'm playing my entire bankroll in one match and that everything depends on this game. I will definitely get on tilt...

I would recommend a book The Mental Game of Poker / Jared Tendler.
There a lot of information is devoted to the problem of tilt

I also have same problem called tilt. Hard to me to stop playing when I was in tilt, although I want stop playing. Huhhh

Limits have nothing to do with that kind of situation happens to any limits.At low stakes,just play freely,if you lose,you lose some.That's all...

Always say which pocket cards would not be,it all depends on how the card will fall on the Board.In these cases,the main thing is patience and not to give up...

Read the book of the Mind Games, about poker. Helped me.

If you understand that you are in tilt then do not change tactics. This will not save you. It seems to me better to make a break in the game.

Not sure if this has been covered but Cardschat have a great post on this already:

That is a really good article, thank you for the link

Tilt is inevitable and it all happens. I struggle with it simply. I quit playing for a while that would not make it worse.

The person insists on playing outside their BR boundaries and so ends up tilting. You need to have a lot of discipline to not tilt and not break your BR.

there are many videos on solution of this problem a lot of advice but you must feel it yourself only then will you be able to find the answer to this question

Take a break and rest. Then start again recharged.

You always have to be focused, attention plays the most important role

Now I have this period in poker. To play only freerolls. Waiting for it to pass a series of misfortunes. As soon as you start prizes, make a Deposit and start playing for money. Time heals all wounds.

Play cash games not tournaments. You will find this reduces tilt by 60% alone.

Change outlook; the game is keeping bad players bad due to them not realising they are bad thanks to bad beats occuring in their favor.

Appreciate that no matter how great you have become, greater indeed you can be.

Eat enough food, get enough sleep...
