When calling stations call my big second barrel and get there in the river with their gutter!
Also when I have 3bet pre flop my KK and the A is there on the flop. :cry:

I don't tilt because I don't pay attention to negative results.

negative results are going to happen as long as the opponent has any equity in the hand, it's out of my control. and I can't control what my opponent decides to do. so, I don't see the point in getting upset over things I have no control over when I can focus on the things I can control, my decisions and making sure I put myself in +ev situations.

as long as I am happy with the decisions I've made, then that's all that matters. there is nothing for me to get tilted over, no matter whatever negative end results happens.

this is just my personal opinion, but I also don't tilt because there aren't really any bad beats. maybe in very specific situations there are, but most 'bad beats' are just losses that aren't, imo, even worth mentioning and / or getting upset over. some players can't just handle losing and focus on it way too much.

What makes me tilt is when I take successive bad beats or when an agro fish raises all the time and puts the pressure on. Lately, I'm starting to work on the mind to overcome this kind of situation.

Sometimes I lose to AA or KK, and when the other player wins a nice pot on the river.

In general, I don't tilt, especially at the tables. But sometimes I can get a little pissed off when my opponent played badly and he wins the pot.

If I sense the tilt coming I just stop for as many days needed. So... Tilt is not an option for me the last years.

One or two hands can't piss me off, but if it goes on for a few days I get nervous but usually end up playing less and more studying theory looking for mistakes in my game!!!

Tilt? Interesting question. I only play online. The two things that set me off are: me making a stupid mistake and slow play. There is always one player that uses the time bank on every hand and then folds. He probably thinks he is a pro and is playing too many tables.

I tend to tilt many times with some players who make moves that don't make any sense and in the end it still works out, with those who don't even care about the tournament and go all in with any card, but what about you? What makes you tilt?
A miss reading! :/

Nothing.
I play with discipline, I follow bankroll management, I don't invest my own money in the game, and thanks to this I play calmly, without nerves and always focused. My opponents, no matter how they play, will not provoke me into hasty or rash decisions.
@Igor G How do you "not invest" your own money in the game, who gives you the money and at what stake?

I usually don't tilt.

But what makes me emotional or close to tilting is if I make a big mistake or I play badly.

Don't let their bad play tilt you! You can't control their behavior or the run out of cards on the board.
Great post, worth to memorise.
One should be angry on his bad game, not on other's

Why would I tilt at the tables..? :giggle:

Can't even remember the last time I tilted it was so long ago!

What used to tilt me were things similar to what you describe, but generally getting out drawn.

Have a very different perspective on things now compared to then... ;)

The most morally stable, initially I lay some random coincidences, this is poker :)

I try not to get annoyed while I'm playing poker... however sometimes I get annoyed when I see players wasting time like they're thinking hahahahaha when we already know what they're doing... it's a very old routine in poker....

If the opponent is slowplay AA...
It's very rare for me to do that, but in a tournament when I see that nobody calls big bets, I'm forced to slow play in an attempt to take some of their chips.
