What do you do when you're in Tilt?

[James2023]

I try to sleep, and come back brighter the next day.

 

[staytrue001]

I try to distract myself, calm down and only then continue the game

 

[Avangart1]

I turn on calm music and think about everything. I come back and win.

[valen.bs.95]

How do you guys deal with the fact that we have to fold LOTS of hands in order to play super tight in big tournaments, especially but not exclusively? That`s something that gets me closer to feeling the Tilt vibe, I have to fold lots of hands in order to stay in some sort of a lead, and I do struggle to try to play only the strongest of hands. Playing super tight, is it considered a strategy of sorts in the long run? for example, A5s, raise + re-raise from the next player and I chose to fold it.

Just stop playing when you feel you are making bad decisions and chasing. Spend that time to study instead.

 

[andron205]

the psychological state affects the quality of the game, you must definitely take a break. You need to win calmly and slowly, you are not born professionals, but become professionals over time.

 

[Berandir]

I just stop playing right away and go do something else. I avoid playing again on the same day.

Good morning everyone, tilt in my opinion is an emotion that is more present in players who are starting out in poker and the longer you play the less it will happen.
If you're playing within your bankroll limit and you're studying, you know you're making the right moves, there's no way you can go on tilt.
Poker is a long term game so just study and practice, make the right play and don't worry about bad beats and tilts.

If I find myself getting frustrated or angry during a game, I try to shift my focus to something positive. I'll start thinking about a recent win or focus on making the right decisions for the rest of the game. It's not always easy but I've found that staying positive can help me avoid tilt.

 

[GrEbZ2021]

When I'm in tilt, I go to make tea or mgazin for beer

 

[Artemloshara]

Like when I sometimes go to play freerolls, sometimes I just go to bed, and sometimes my friends and I are going to play live

 

[Rgeyes]

It is very much like playing pro basketball or football. In tilt is like not in good condition. I always try to do something totally different from what I've been doing.
Like, if I feel in tilt, i play football with friends. If I am not in good condition on football court, I play Poker.

 

[PupsikCat]

Stop playing that day and skip a couple of bowls at the bar!

Then take a break and not play will then constantly lose.
