Live Poker Tilt? Goat?

[Pokerstudy]

What are some of the funniest moments you have seen (or experienced) of Live Poker Tilt? I have read both of Jared Tindler’s books and I like to think I have “Tilt” for the most part mastered, but cmon, I still tilt to a bad beat walking back to hotel room (and usually doesn’t cool down until a beer, or whatever) lol..I still tilt (if I lose after registration closes) but there are stories of tilt, that we can all learn from, or laugh at maybe? I am almost 100% sure nobody is even remembering or even tilting if they were to reminisce a week or whatever later of why they tilted. Can they even remember the hand? Nope lol


Then there is the obvious ones at games that are trying to get your “Goat”. I look at them as a Saturday Night Live special skit and never take them serious, with anything. They are there lol, it’s hilarious 😂

Didn’t know where the phrase originated but looked it up hahah

Not remembering the hand, sometimes forgetting is better, that frustrates me... But now playing the pokerstars Satellites I have experienced the bad beats firsthand, so I manage to overcome the bad times.
Live with friends, I play more relaxed and sometimes I retire with marginal hands and I've seen that I could have completed a full split with a ladder or have J3, fold and open three 3s on the flop (I'm dying I said). It's horrible to think that it could have happened if I had gone on the pre-flop.

I have a friend who started tilting a few days ago and lost cash in 5 card Omaha. The next day when we were discussing his game, he was sure that the whole problem was in the bad beats, and he was just unlucky. I think every player who starts to tilt is sure that the problem is bad beats, I watch such players very often in a small poker club where I work. At such moments, the main thing is to understand that the problem is in yourself and in your game, and not in bad beats, for this you need to calm down, relax and remove all emotions and then the tilt will end.

Sometimes when I have a difficult decision, I will tilt afterwards. I think I need to take more time making the tough decisions and then maybe stand up or take a break for a hand or two until I can calm my mind again.

I'm a sleeping baby compared to some folx I've seen. I saw where Dan Cates got a little tilty when Airball got the best of him. Kinda hard to blame him though.
