I always play with strict bank roll management , min 100x for mtts in buyins , that doesnt stop me from playing sunday million regularly and many big games cos i play most satties into those big games. Its def about brm to get success in poker .

As regarding to overcome about tilt , first you decide which thing in life you like as a hobby besides poker . For me i listen to music or watch a movie to take my mind out of any bad beats , the moment i get big tilt cos i busted just before ft if i dont have any other games , i just close the client and leave the pc area. Tilting is def not going to help at all , and best way to find is have some other fun hobby to go after

Learn to accept reality, which includes misfortune, stupid mistakes and a lot of pain. Once you accept and internalize that all of this things will happen in your life and your poker career with 100% certainty you decide how you deal with pain.

I just always stick to bankroll management and never go beyond my limit. Although poker is entertainment for me, I take the game seriously and always play responsibly.

Users who earn on poker choose a certain path: either win cash games and earn on them, or hope to win tournaments and get large prize money at once. Of course, many combine these two types, but some of the ways of spending time at the tables still prevails.

Without a doubt, in the game of poker for money on the Internet, many can spend a lot of time. But there are also those users for whom poker is just a hobby or a way to relax after a hard day's work.
For you, of course, tables with quick distributions for money will do. After all, you can participate in them whenever you want, go to any convenient table in a few minutes, and if the desire disappears or you need to go somewhere - there is always the opportunity to go out without losing anything.

I disagree. If you play zoom bad beats happen all the time. If you stop playing every time something tilting happens you will have a lot of very short sessions. Better way is to learn to stay calm and focused when bad beats happen.

Tip 1: Admit you are tilted
Tip 2: Take a break

In addition to my bankroll, I already broke my pc mouse.

I speak a lot of low slang words cursing.

A double whiskey was good, but I stopped drinking 10 years ago...

I think that after the thousandth time you tilt you'll realize that playing poker means being beaten for the rest of your life..lol

Sometimes you just gotta walk away from the computer and figure something else to do. If you have a dog maybe a good time to take him/her for a walk.

I think this has happened to many poker players who are very angry and lose a lot of money because of their anger and can't stop so I advise you to tell the person next to you to take away your phone and computer so that you don't go to him and they will save your money and you will thank them tomorrow:)

I struggled with tilt for quite some time. In my experience you have to make playing the game about playing the game. When you're attached to money, winning or managing your bankroll you lose focus on what you're doing, you panic, and you make bad decisions. When you make bad decisions you lose - a lot. Tilt became less of an issue for me when I started thinking differently. Now I focus on my decision making - my goal is to make great decisions. If you can get your head into that space you'll play way better, win more consistently, and you'll get more enjoyment from playing. One other thing is to come to terms with variance. You need to play a LOT to get better and to have a decent win rate. Relax and learn to enjoy the process.

Hi.
I'm a patient player so I never feel the tilt. I easily control my emotions thanks to my bankroll management. I easily stop and take a break if I see that today is not my day. It is better to stop and take a break than to keep losing money.
Good luck.

The best thing to do is anything but playing more poker.

I 've noticed I'm getting fatter because after I suffer a bad beat I go eat some candy😁😂🤣

When you play higher levels than you are used to, the first can be frustrating and difficult to overcome, but with the passage of time you will get used to that level and you will manage to overcome it. What would be wrong is to play off the bench, if your stack does not give you to play those levels, you should wait a little longer and then try to level up without risking your bank.

It becomes easier to deal with tilt when you start to accept that bad beats will always happen in poker. If I made the right play in the hand that cost me the tournament, I get mad of course, but just move on to the next table because I know I did everything I could have done.

It's tough when it happens, but best thing to do is just stop playing completely and come back the next day. You always end up doing more damage if you don't take a break.

It does get easier to deal with the more you play. Just now I got knocked out after going all in. I had top pair on the flop but he still called, he ended up catching card on the river!
