Go wash your face with cold water and only then come back to the table. Then count your stack in the big blinds and keep going to win this tournament! Never give up! Tilt is the thing of the fishes, but you're a PRO! Remember that! And then... bet all-in with 82. ;)

Pffff I dont think theres any recipes. In those moments you either carry on with a cold head, or you just tilt down. But I think with training and consistency everyone can pass through those harder times.

Perhaps the best option would be just a break. 2-3 days of rest will allow you to regain your form and get rid of negative emotions.

Take a break . Stop playing until you feel better . If you cannot , call it a day , turn off pc . If you are in a middle of a important game , try to finish or , but if tilt is very serious , then do t finish it , cause in the end you could have more problems than just a good game lost. Like losing all your bankroll

I cuss awhile to get the steam out & then accept the variance. Think of the other times that variance favored your hand. Happy thoughts! :)

Navigating tilt in online poker demands a recipe of emotional resilience. Begin with mindful awareness—regularly assess emotions, stepping away if frustration looms. Stir in bankroll management; set clear limits and avoid chasing losses. Incorporate deep breathing—a calming ritual to center the mind amid tension. Schedule session breaks for mental refreshment. Add gratitude journaling to reflect on positives and learn from setbacks. Enhance skills continually, shifting focus from outcomes to growth. Diversify leisure activities beyond poker to maintain balance. Seek community support, sharing experiences and gaining perspectives. Develop positive affirmations to reinforce strengths. Set realistic poker goals, breaking them into manageable steps. Visualize successful plays to cultivate a positive mindset. Lastly, practice emotional detachment, understanding that short-term results don't define your skill. This holistic recipe fosters resilience, transforming tilt into an opportunity for growth and mastery in the dynamic world of online poker.

I always say that the best cure for tilt is to simply turn off your laptop/phone, exit the poker site and cool down.

When I'm emotionally exhausted and angry from the game, I just go play basketball or do any other sport. It helps me a lot, when I play basketball my brain just forgets about everything and recovers.

I play the same so basically I just need a better run of hands to get out of a tprut. Just keep playing until your luck changes.

if you just feel that you've suffered, then it's better to close everything and go for a walk, think about the giveaways... and continue playing in a day or two))

My recipe is not to get into tilt, not to play with the money that is important.

my recipe if it so happens that you fall into a tilt just go for a walk and you'll feel much better after you come back and you won't be so angry anymore, just get some fresh air and all the bad thoughts will fly away and you can safely start the game again and be calm

I played a lot of time in poker and I’m not surprised at moving anymore, playing sports helps me, I used to indulge in alcohol, but it’s evil and I don’t recommend it, I think that in a healthy body there’s a healthy mind, but I cursed and that’s it

Most people tilt because of results. Results are never a good reason to get emotional in a partitial luck based game.
If you manage to get rid of result centered thinking and start thinking equity driven or process oriented, there are waaaaay less moments to tilt, but great lessons to learn.
All you can do in poker is risk- and chance management, there is no way to guarantee winning a single event but making it more likely.

The best recipes on tilt are given by mental coaches.
There are many videos to watch on YouTube.
I already handle tilt naturally.
I lose a key hand, and first I see if it was my mistake to correct it. And if it was a cooler or badbeat, the opponent was luckier, not much more than that.
Greetings:):):)

Ask to someone hide your laptop and only come back to play poker after 2-3 days :)
But the best way is to accept the bad beats and that always will have good and bad days.
