How do you avoid going on tilt?

[PLAYINBIG]

I think it is impossible not to tilt every once in awhile if you play a lot of poker.

For me what has really helped me is using odd calculators after some bad beats. Once you start to realize you were only a 60 or 70 percent favorite it helps to realize that bad beats are going to happen from time to time. It also, helps me to improve my game by learning more about equity and is good practice for seeing what your actual chances of winning the hand were. I think experience helps too, the more times you take bad beats the more you get used to it and accept it. Plus, it works both ways we all win some hands that we shouldn't but we never seem to focus as much on those as the times we lose. Maybe if you write down some of the times you delivered a bad beat to someone else and look at them when it happens to you, you'll be able to better get over it realizing you've won in similar ways to how you just lost.

Pretty much what I do. Pull out the calculator and just laugh it off.

It all comes downs to you own mentality and how you decide to handle a hand.. There is nothing worse than playing with a fish and paying them off because they actually have a hand when you know they are horrible... Just happened to me.. oh well play another day

I just can't stop.

Often I can't stop the desire to win. And it often leads to negative consequences. I install myself a certain level, and I think that now it is necessary to return a certain amount and get up. Each time I tell myself that this way is wrong. But sometimes mistake repeats again. Nonetheless there is a little bit progress here now. What are the tricks to avoid tilt ?! Thank you.

What you trying to explain sounds like ordinary tilt.

Please elaborate further and many here will give nice assessments.

He is asking how to control a tilt. I tilt a lot lol, I think sitting out for a few minutes or trying a different table would help.

The same is with me, and it is hard to stop. In such moments i try to stop playing even close room and don't to play. I think we have to learn more and have very nice patience.

The worst thing you can do when losing is to bet more to try to get what you lost back. I heard a guy in a casino one time tell me he had a fool proof way to ensure he didn't lose at roulette. He would bet $100 on black (or red, or odd, or whatever). If he lost, he would bet $200 the next time on the same thing. If he lost, he would be $400 the next time on the same thing. His theory was that if he just kept betting the same thing and doubling his bet every time, he would eventually win and get all his losses back. I mean, the number can't come up odd (or red) 5 times in a row, could it? Yes, it very well could.

I could only shake my head.

This would work but only if you already have substantial amounts of money. If you were doing it with $10 you still need a few thousand to be sure. There is a world record for the amount of times a colour has come in in a row. I think its highly unlikely that 20 reds will come out in a row so if you have enough money to double up 20 times I'd say thats a safe bet. Just don't push your luck.
