Hi all!
Tilt happens to everyone. The main problem is to understand that right now you are under its influence.
I can say that when I don’t have a game at all, I try to just switch. Forget about poker for a while. I return to the game after the break, when all the negative emotions receded)
Good luck at the tables)

One method of tilt is to stop playing immediately and turn off the computer! It is advisable to take a break from poker for a few days.

I tend to meditate, analyze my game, and if I made a mistake, realize it so that I don't do it next time.
And if it's just bad luck, then I know I have the skills, I'll play my A game, so I'll get over it quickly.

These days I very rarely tilt!!!

If I face a bad beat and played it optimally then I'm like, so what I played it right. I forget about that hand and move on to the next

Now if I'm beat by my mistake then I'm like annoyed with myself, and if it's annoyed me to the point that I think I won't play my best game, then I simply won't play. I will go back to studying, always makes me feel better by studying poker. I will also play video games, read, watch movies, listen to my favourite music. I prefer to go for a long walk, as I love to walk.

While I'm working though I study poker more than I play, which I believe helps me in the long run, especially as I walk to work for over an hour, very therapeutic.

One thing I won't do is listen to music while I walk, as that would be signing my death warrant, 4 years ago I just barely managed to escape death by nearly getting knocked down by a lorry 😲 and I wasn't even listening to music 🙄

My nickname at work is Dangerous Davis, that's how they see me in our work chat 😂😂😂

you just need to stop playing, give yourself a rest, switching your attention to something else

stop playing.lol
It's very hard not to get irritated, but as you play the feeling diminishes and you can see the nuances that are part of this wonderful game.

To help with tilt is good to train some yoga, meditation or simply teach to use breath to make less nervous. Good and simple method is close eyes and counts from 1 to 10.

I recomended to keep close look your "tilt bar" and if you notice that its low, you get emotional easily, it dosnt matter how good advice you get and comply and even manage to get better with it but it it wont last, we talking about our personal traits which are hard to "practice" one way or another, and at the end you will find yourself tilting your bankroll after som bad run. But of course being more emotional its no barrier for playing poker, its more fun actually :)

poker is also a psychological game, to be successful it is necessary a minimum of peace of mind, patience and tranquility, not to affect or change the strategy of the game, sometimes a bad beat is interpreted wrongly with a bad move , it is very It's hard to control a tilt so it's best to avoid it at all costs

Breaks are very good.
You finish an MTT with a badbeat, you close the laptop, you go for a walk or have a drink, you watch some TV, you chat with someone that is a talk away from poker. When everything happened and you want to play again, you open the laptop and play.
I at least win or lose, I can't play too many MTTs in the day, because I focus a lot on the game and it's hard for me to focus on another. It is likely that he will play one or two, no more.

My advice is very simple and very effective. If you realize you're in a tilt, just wait it out and don't play for a few days (3-5). Distract yourself, watch a movie, listen to music. The main thing is not to play, or you'll do something stupid!

Good morning everyone, the secret of poker is to study and practice, as time goes by you are less and less worried about tilt, bad beats and other situations that affect your decision making today. I remember when I started playing in 2018 , and I lost a $2.00 buy-in, I was already kind of on tilt, making senseless plays going all in on the river by bluff and today I don't go on tilt playing cash I lose some buy-ins in hands that I'm very favorite in pre flop but it doesn't affect my decision making on other hands, the secret of poker is time, patience, study, volume, this will make it profitable in the long run.

Hi.
I am quite a disciplined player and always easily control my emotions regardless of the game results. That's why I actually never feel tilt. Of course, there are moments in the game that can upset me, but I always evaluate my results in the long term, and take everything quite easily. If you find it difficult to control your emotional state, the best solution is to simply stop and take a break.
Good luck.

If you are on deep tilt, no amount of advice will help you. Indeed, in this state, a person does not control his actions, and therefore cannot use useful tips. It is necessary to learn how to determine the approach of tilt in advance and in order to avoid irreversible consequences, I think it is best to leave the table for a while. Otherwise, if your homework does not work, you risk entering that blissful state from which you usually leave with a zero stack.👼🙇‍♀️

The best way is to take a break. Usually half an hour is enough to recover, but if the tilt is strong, then it is better to rest for a day or two

Here goes unpopular opinion.
Worst thing you can do is to make a break. You should increase number of tables and play some more on lower stakes, if possible, to experience some winnings. Trying to get break even as soon as possible would be optimal, proving yourself by the way, that it's only variance thing, not you playing bad.
Doing so you train yourself to play properly even under the stress.
My record is more then 24 hours session (online, though it was a small site with only one table available at my stakes at that time) ended with positive result.

I find if I’m in tilt mode I have to get up and walk away wether that is for an hour or a day depends on how frustrated I am

In theory, it is easy to get over it>
If you made the right call, if you went in the showdown with best hands, it means you did your best and only the variance beaten you. So in longterm, your game will be winning.
But that's just the theory... in fact, sometimes we go tilt and lose beacuse of it :)
