tilt
Hello. It usually happens to me often in pokerstars (jokerstars) where the most unusual plays occur. eg. A player goes there with 4-2 off I call with AA and jokerstars rolls at the table full of 4-2, there if I continue at the table I am absent for a few minutes I take something and try to recover as quickly as possible.

Every poker player has been tilted at least once. And everyone overcomes it in their own way. Sometimes very material losses. If I can assess the situation and feel an approach or tilt, I just walk away from the table. Because I noticed that in this state I make the wrong decisions even with very good starting hands. Even if I miss a few plays with hands like a pair of pocket aces or kings, the damage is much less.

Yes for sure these are good points, just adding to take some deeps breaths, and some water to relax into things.

The best advice in the event of a tilt is to simply close the poker client. Tomorrow the poker will be the same as it is today. You still have time to recoup, and winning in every session is unrealistic. It is important to learn to accept failure and not hold negative emotions in yourself.

The best way is to take a break. distract yourself from poker, cool your head, and go back to the tables. The amount of time is different for everyone. 10 minutes is enough for some people, and a couple of days is enough for others.

I think that every one deals with tilt in different ways. The most important thing is to first be able to recognize that you are on tilt, and then, to understand what put you in that position. Poker has so much variance. If you played a hand great, and still lose the hand, and it puts you on tilt, it's legitimately just a mindset problem within yourself, and that type of tilt is the very easiest one to eliminate from disrupting your optimal game. Next hand. Move on.
This is not always easy to do. For example, the drunk guy across the table with a million bucks in his pocket may not care about the money he's playing with. He has plenty, and you're there to simply make a few bucks and go on home to your family. You're playing the best session of your life, and about to get up and leave when you get dealt pocket aces just before your button arrives, and bc you're a gentleman, you've already told the table that this was your last rotation. Drunk guy's playing as reckless as possible and raises huge and you get it all in against him holding 27 off and he gets lucky and runs out two pair on you. You still played great, but now you feel obligated to stick around and put more money on the table to get it back(not wise). A beat like this can keep some people tilted all night long.
I would say it's more likely to go on tilt when you played great and the other person played like a baffoon, and that's just at the base level. What if the drunk guy keeps needling you after you decide to stick around and try to get your stack back? Do you have the discipline to just throw in some earplugs, or ignore what he is saying to avoid mistakes? Some people do not, especially at the beginning of their poker "career".
Once you get passed the realization that bad beats are simply inevitable and you have harnessed the ability to overcome the mental aspect of that, you still have more to worry about. What about when you make mistakes? Do you have the self discipline to determine those mistakes, and to work hard to eliminate them? Tilt is going to occur, but if you can eliminate your own mistakes, and you have the mentality to overcome the variance in poker, you will succeed if you continue to improve your game.

What the heck does this one mean? I'm sure there has to be some secondary meaning to whatever you're saying here, but I'm not catching it.

I have a downstreak on party poker right now. Almost all of my premium hands are beating on the next street. I don’t know what to do with it and I’m on tilt. I think I need to take a break for a few days.

the best way is to post some hands on forum. Maybe there are some mistakes you make. So it's better to fix them to be more confident in the future. If your hands are played correctly then you can't do anything about it. Just keep going. Poker is a game of long run.
If you mental state is bad then yes. Few days off are always great.

So i finf myself today in tilted state that has affected ever game i have played today, how can i get away from the curse of tilt
Hey how is everything. I suffered from the same tilt problem, in fact I still have the beginnings of tilt from time to time. But what helped me a lot was reading the book: The Mental Game of Poker by Jared tendler.
But in short, you have to identify your tilt triggers and not let your emotions get in the way.

I try to avoid taking it personal. I had its worst runouts over and over against me even in a live play. I Remember couldnt win a proper pot in a night where I shove with A10 in my hand holding two pairs on turn. Guy called with KQ and hit his J completed straight against me. I was mad, like how the hell it happens. I played and lost couple of times (not by mistakes but pure luck) then I quit. So later on I learnt to not taking it personal, if you lose on poker that doesnt mean someone is better than you but we won't also target that players we've lost as enemies. That ruins our game, and even if you catch a hand without taking its value by pot, it gives more of tilt time by time. Then you start playing lot of hands out of range against them and lose more.

After 45 years of poker, I don't tilt anymore. My decisions at the table are based on odds and sound reasoning. I suggest you step away from the game when you notice you're on tilt, relax, get some rest and have fun with friends and family before returning to the game.So i finf myself today in tilted state that has affected ever game i have played today, how can i get away from the curse of tilt

Try to prevent tilt. This is the best possible option. Disciplined players who adhere to bankroll management never experience tension or stress. In my opinion, tilt is a consequence of a player's lack of patience and discipline.

yesterday I got into a tilt when I lost all-ins 2 times with the highest cards, some incredible hands where the opponent was just lucky, I had 400 chips left, I was in last place and decided to make all-ins with any card, I won 5-6 times with cards like 6 4 and was in the top ten, sometimes tilt leads to such turns
in general, when I get into a tilt, I can close the game client and exit, even when I have a lot of chips and I can play
