What they told me when I started playing poker was that "the only rival to win is always going to make oneself", the truth that at first only overestimated believing in my self-control that almost everyone exaggerated about the way they talked about "Tilt" and with the running of the hands played I noticed that they were right and that I had been wrong but very ugly not to take into account that the Tilt is something to always fight, that the easy solution to say that the other won because I was lucky it was just foolish to deny that my head made me play horribly.

the search for revenge against some player for having won or not having entered the pit when I had a decent hand was some of the points that I took to the Tilt. I have seen cases of people who only "revenge" winning a player lose boxes after boxes just to show that he is not playing. Stupid pride.

but back to the subject, I looked until I found a very good book that is the "mental game of poker", especially an exercise in which it consisted that when we put ourselves in tilt mode write on a sheet of paper as we felt that after several hours to read it again and we realize if we were the same or not. I must say that I did and the changes are good. improve my form of self-control which will benefit my bank.

I don't know if I actually go on tilt but I have been known to fume after a beat particularly to hands that people have no business in the hand with in the 1st place.. Depending on the extent of the beat or beats it can usually be offset with a drink or in extreme cases I take a walk..

Tilt is a problem for many players. I wish you the best of luck in dealing with it.

Maybe try to play more tables, idle hands and all. Or you could try playing over-rolled then the monetary swings seem smaller. Jared Tendler also does some excellent work dealing with tilt, so maybe read some of his stuff or watch one of his videos. If all else fails take a break from poker.

Tilt still nothing about the quality of your game,this happens with all...Not a bad life,but a day like this...good Luck...

Of course I do not give bad life, nor does it take away the dream .. Obvious if it gives pain at the moment, but this is the game, there are happy moments and others not so much, thanks for participating in this thread.

tilting is like riding a motorcycle

There are two kinds of poker players, those that have tilted, and those that will tilt

tilt is a true monster. tough but sometimes taking a break will help (cash game this is easier than a tourney) overall i try to tell myself that its going to cost me more tilting...just move on. (easier said than done)

This seems to be biggest problem for me while playing poker. Getting tilted. I used to get tilted alot, but havent really spent my own money on poker lately. I quess you only get tilted while you deposit your own money and you get bad beats, cold decks, trash hands etc.

Going on tilt is so expensive most of the times....

But I really like your approach to handle it. The fact that you realized it as a problem for you is the
Most important step in overcoming the tilt. And since you seem willing to learn and even read a good book about the subject you should soon find yourself being a much more stable player.

I think it's a problem of many players. I happen to me and my advice is to stop playing for at least an hour. If you're doing a tournament to avoid losing all the chips now it is to play simple and only premium hands

All humans have a line. With experience we can push that line further back from the surface, but it will be there.

I just tilted for the first time in months. 4 morons called all ins. All 4 sucked out on me. So I got cleaned out 4 times. I knew it was time to stop so I stopped. If I keep playing now I will definitely play bad.

Against dumb players it's up to luck, the great equalizer. When luck goes against you, your only chance is to stop.

Tag these morons and get them the next time.

Feel free to use choice words to describe them in the notes. My description of these guys are full of 3 and 4 letter words. The PC police would flog me for identifying these people truthfully.

For good players, the only obstacle is luck. But luck is invincible.

You can't remove it from poker, so you try to move around it.

For me, this is such a big problem that I can't even always determine when I'm in tilt.
Try to find yourself a poker psychology coach.

Tilt is a big problem for me to if it was for tilt I would win a hell of a lot more tourneys I run really deep in most of them then bam I get a bad beat I still have a decent stack but guess what tilt gets the best of me and instead of sucking it up and getting back to my A game I play like a dumb shit and try to get revenge on the player and guess what get sprung from the tourney from that same player playing those same dumb cards or worse. All because I didn't learn the first time to play only plus expected value hands against him and stop playing like a dummy. Just play the way I did when I built my stack in the fist place. and build it back up by playing the A game again. I need to learn to stop tilting and I would cash in more tourneys .

Better to tilt others than to be tilted
Easy to say Hard in practise

Are you there also? could it be then a state of mind or a label which we attach to the action of chasing some one to throw chips at them...

Lol that's how I'm beginning to see it...

I mean it cant just be the cards as they have a random arrangement, which we act on, but they say 90% of the game you never see the cards.... so that means I'm on tilt because the 10% of the hands my opponents have seen has been... Bulls**t or I mean Bluff....Maybe 5% even that leads to a new question...

How many times has your opponent got to see your losing cards and assess it was a bluff (not a value bet) before he/she calls allin on you 90% of the time there after?

If Ive seen a player screw up once or twice then by the third time he is either about to take all my chips on an all in (Trapping) or im taking all his chips with an all in (Thinking he's full of BS) lol

So here we both are, Tilted again and what are we gonna do about it?

Get back on the bike dust your self off and go back with a different MIND SET as that's the only difference between the YOU now and the YOU winning a Title. obviously as long as your Bankroll is still adequate.

Stop when the fun stops or when TAX becomes an issue

Poker is not fair, and you do not deserve to win
All you can do is play your best, and know that the odds sometimes
will be against you. Its all in the math and in the outcome of thousands
of hands you will see your gamestyle being profitable.

No reason to tilt over a single hand went wrong

Everybody gets Tilt ok póker is something normal and you have to deal with it to go back to normal and be focus again in the game the best you can do is leave the game for couple of hours and back stronger 😉. All the best and good luck!

Well, i admit that "tilting" is a problem i may never be completely rid of. How can you NOT tilt when you have a monster hand, the other guy has no business whatsoever in the hand, still he calls only to get that one outer on the river. Yeah... i smashed a few keyboards that way. Bad beats... i can handle, but stupidity... man... it's gonna make me more stupid than the other guy. Don't really think it's a thing that somebody can control. One may be able to not express himself, but deep inside, it eats you bad.

When i get tilted i just go to the bath and wash my face. It works for me...

The same problem, but I think after this post I will change my mind and will be more determined)

You must have experience in the game and understand that not always who has the best starting hand will win the pot have patience my friend

Take some beers man!Listen to good music and forget about bad beats.Just register again and go for the fight.If you lose stand up and fight again.

O que você faz para controlar seus pensamentos / inclinação??

Good subject. I recommend the Tommy Angelo book this guy talks about. Here is the link to finger tilt audio. It is what I do often, with tricky decisions.

Had someone give me a valium once, took it, played a 5.5 buy in on 888 poker. Didn't tilt for one of the first times ever. Ended up winning the tourney $1200. Never tried it again, but curious if it was a coincidence or if it actually helped me. I do have PTSD though.

The only way how I deal with tilt is stop playing for a some time.
It can be hours,days,weeks... how long do i need to feel myself comfortable again in game.
Also im trying to improve my mental discipline manyways.
Trying to see whole picture of my gameplay,analyzing my mistakes...

tilt the problem but patience is it to be so prevalent in the game...
