Go for a long walk. I just had 2 horrible sessions in a row with coolers over coolers. I was so tilted. I went for a long walk and now feeling much better. Going to read now. When it's not your day it's not your day...

i don't tilt because i don't care about losing against worst hands. what's the point of wasting time and energy being upset whenever i lose against opponents that i have an equity edge over when i'm winning so much value in the long run? that's just silly.
no matter how bad the short term negative variance is, it's doesn't mean anything in the long run. profit in poker comes from long term +ev decisions. keep making the +ev decisions, ignore the bad results.

Hey shoot, tilt is my biggest issue. It seems like, the more I study and try to continue to make good decisions, the more I take bad beats. Is this simply supposed to end? Is it just coincidence that I happen to have learned more in the last few weeks AND I'm also taking so many bad beats? I am really eager to take down a decent tournament on ACR... but it seems to evade me. I've cashed several times in the last few weeks (even made it as far as fifth place), but cannot secure a win...

I had been on tilt mode so many times, but it has been a long time that I don't tilt anymore. When I lose a tournament to trash hands, I usually just quit poker for the day or only play freerolls for the rest of the day.

Hi! I first switch to another room. Other game. Sometimes it helps. If I'm not lucky there, I'm looking for other distractions. For example, listen to your favorite, preferably soothing music.

Tilt management is something, all poker players need to deal with to a smaller or larger extend. At lot of good content has already been created about it. Try to check out the block posts on Blackrain79.com (Nathan Villiams) and the videos on youtube from Gripsed (Evan Jarvis). They are both member of this forum with sticky "ask me..." threads. Just google "tilt" and then these names.
Tilting when you lose to trash hands is also very common, and its usually about entitlement. If the opponent played bad, people feel, they deserve even more to win. But if you think a little deeper about it, why is it worse to lose to bad hands than to good hands? You still lose at the end of the day, and it does not matter, if you lose to J4s, that flopped bottom pair and backdoored into a flush against your flopped set, or if you lose, because your AK ran into AA, and all the chips went in preflop. In fact you want that guy, who play J4s incorrectly, to be in your game, because you are going to be massively profitable against him in the long run, just not this time. Whereas with the AA guy your only consolation is, that sooner or later you will have AA, when he have AK, and then he will also lose his chips to you. But you are never going to win big from people, who play well. So first off all you need to learn to truly embrace bad players and just laugh about it, when they get lucky. They are your friends not your enemy. This might sound very "holy", and to be honest I also get annoyed, when that hypothetical set vs. J4s situation happen, and I lose most of my chips. But I can manage it, so that it does not cause me to spew chips in future hands. I also dont feel a need to berate the person in the chat. I just say nothing and move on, or maybe occationally I throw a tomato in 888 Poker for a bad beat. The second point is to have a proper long term perspective. A lot of people are impatient and want fast results. For instance they might play satellites to target tournaments, which they are not bankrolled for. So when they finally win that ticket for the target tournament, its devastating, when that runner-runner flush happen and kill their dream. Instead you want to use a grinders approach. Deposit some reasonable amount of money, which is at least 100$ or maybe even 500$, if you have previous experience playing poker. And then start to play either cash games or tournaments never risking more than 5% of your bankroll on a cash game hand and never more than 1% on a tournament just to line up some simple and easy to remember rules. And then play a lot. Variance in poker last longer, than most people expect, so even winning players are going to be down regularly, if you look at small samples like 10.000 cash game hands or 100 tournaments.

Cmoon guy, you make this sound so difficult.
I can give you my secret. As Jared Tendler (poker mental game coach) defines tilt, it is anger + bad play. So, I listen to this and I can recommend: https://stevegjones.com/buy/hypnosis...-platinum-mp3/ With my experience I saw results after 3 days, so powerful.

re: Poker & How do you deal with tilt?
I understand you correctly, do you listen to this demo every time, every day, to be calm? Or did you buy the entire series of audio hypnosis?

My method is very simple. I just try to make good thoughtful decisions and regardless of the results, I am always satisfied with myself and my game.

I always went to Music or an angry comedian route to settle myself down. Always put on Random Anger skit from George Carlin afterwards to help. Is it wrong I almost have that skit memorized now verbatim? I should take up meditation or something.

re: Poker & How do you deal with tilt?
Very powerful program and I can say that really changed me as a person and my game improved a lot. I have bought more audios later and going to buy soon more. Very small investment - amazing results. There is also own audio for poker: https://stevegjones.com/buy/hypnosis-mp3s/improve-poker-playing-platinum-mp3/ I can't say does it help, I didn't see any significant results. But I listened to it only for one week, recommendation is one month. But there is anyway money-back guarantee if not satisfied, if I remember right.

I find that being present with your thoughts helps, maybe some meditation and reading. Yesterday, I was playing really well untill I had a Mike Matusow moment that ruined 2 hours of play. Went from +5.60 to minus 5.00 bucks. Losing your A game in 1 moment can really cost you. In the past I would have went for a higher buy in on tilt to try to get it back quickly but, no I decided to quit for a couple hours, took some deep breaths,meditated and picked up a book. Reading might help cause it will get your mind into a more calm logical rational thought process and will get your focus back, push your emotions to the way side, cause tilt is really just an usless emotion in poker, its anger.

Hitting the desk with the head really helps. You will be kinda dizzy, unfocused. But calm...Definitely calm...
