I know that even taking bad beats if we play "right" in the long run let's be winners .. I know all those things, but even then I was entering tilt, but I created a method of how to overcome this and it has worked very well. As I know that there are also people with this same problem I decided to post this method here, maybe I can also help someone.

Create a file, it can be in the notepad, and write "5 minutes", always after a session if you have not entered tilt you decrease 1 minute, when there is only 1 minute left in the notepad you should go decreasing from 10 in 10 seconds .. if you have entered tilt during the session you should increase 5 minutes for every mistake you made because of the tilt.
These minutes are going to be the time you should focus before you start a session .. you will not want to spend a lot of time concentrating before you start a session, so you will struggle not to get tilt .. and moreover , This is going to be a separate competition, you will want to feel able to get your time bank to zero, so you will do your best not to go into tilt.

I just want to say something about bad beats.

the winning pot and losing pot, unless showdown are stick together.

in general , because of bad beats makes good player to win. in other words, it could not avoid bad beats, unless you don't want to win.

So, I am used to it, and let it go!:D
I don't care. LOL

I have a strategy of avoiding my tilt and win in the long run with very tiny bankroll. I have mathematically developed it. So here it is (it should work for a tournament players who enter the money at least 50% of the time). This a strategy which can give you at least $2000 in only a year starting with just 10 dollars. So here it is:

Day 1: Enter the tourney called big $0.55 at pokerstars with $2000 guaranteed ( or equivalent of it at any other poker room). You get to the money where at least you can win $0.97. And let's say for example you just entered the money and you get a bad beat to your AA all-in. So you quit poker for today and open a notepad and write "day 1 - $0.97" (I know what are you thinking right know - "Yeah I will play so much to get just 0.42" but please read this till the end)

Day 2 - You fail to get into the money because you are busted with AA against your QQ. Again close the poker and don't play that day. Watch a movie, have sex, sleep etc. but first type in the same notepad file "day 2 - nothing earned"

Day 3 - You get into the money and play super well and enter the top 100 and achieve for example $5.36. Close poker for the day and type in the notepad file "day 3 - 5.36".

Repeat the same thing for 30 days. At the 30th day get the notepad file and calculate the total amount of money you have earned. Let's say you did it well and earned 100 dollars for these 30 days. Leave the 10 dollars you have started with and add 30 more which are 1 dollar earned every day. Withdraw the rest 60 dollars and take your girl/man on a dinner and tell them you are celebrating your successful month.

On the next day you enter the second month. It is time to increase the bet. Enter the same tournament but not the 0.55 but 1.10. Repeat the same practice from the previous month but at the end of this month you need to leave 10(starting bankroll)+30(first month)+60(gained second month). Everything above that is for the dinner with your girl/man or for whatever you like.

The third month you apply the same strategy but do not double up the entry. Just add 0.55 to the previous entry so now you are looking for the same tournament but with an entry fee = 1.65 or something like it for example 1.50 is a good one. You are aiming now to make 3 dollars a day.

If you start in January you will search for tournaments which will gain you at least 11 dollars a day on average in November. So if my calculations are correct you will have around 2000 dollars. Continue the strategy as usual but this month has something different. It is the special Christmas Monday Million. You can afford 200 out of those 2000 dollars you have to try and change your life forever. The first place this year got 490 000 dollars. In my country I can live with these for 37 years the way I am living now but going to my workplace for 10 hours a day 24 times a month.


P.S. When you get tilted you start losing your money because you don't know when to stop. That's why I created this system in order to know exactly what to do. Play just one tournament a day everyday and sorry for the caps but DO NOT PLAY CASH GAMES, spin and go, SIT AND GO, BEAT THE CLOCK AND OTHER STUFF.

The temptation is big when you hit the 9th place and took a decent reward for your patience and you will say "Oh **** it I made that dollar for today I will play the rest at a cash table and maybe I will double them up" Most of the time you will get a bad beat and lose for example 10 % of this and you will get tilted and the whole strategy will go away.

This will help a lot in my evolution as a poker player. Thanks for the post.
