Tilt
_____________
"When everything is bad"
This type of tilt is cumulative. Emotions accumulate days, weeks, months, or even years of bad luck. As a result, a vicious circle is formed - you are in a constant state of tension, or at its threshold. Negative dispersion very quickly causes tilt, which in turn degrades the quality of the game, and this, in turn, causes even greater dispersion and so on. Emotions remain until the next gaming day and everything starts there from the beginning.
The negative dispersion streak is not the cause of tilt - it exposes the hidden causes of false beliefs in your mind .. The “when everything is bad” tilt usually consists of the other types of tilt listed in this article. You need to diagnose from which components your “bad” is formed and work through each of them.
When you are in a serious accumulated tension, it seems to you that you are unlucky all the time, although in fact very often you play not optimally, under the influence of emotions. If you notice a strong complaint about dispersion - it means only one thing - you tilt. In this case, it is juicy that you need to start working hard on the game and psychology, sort out the distributions, look for mistakes, read Tendler.
Focus on results, not quality
It is very easy to be subject to tilt if you focus on the result, and not on the quality of the game. This is a big mistake in setting internal priorities, which will cost you dearly.
At a distance, your earnings depend on the quality of your game - which means you should focus on this for short periods, and by improving the quality of the game you will increase your earnings. It doesn’t matter whether you won the hand or not, it only matters how well you played. If you played well, it means there is no point in getting upset, it's poker, there will always be victories and defeats, the distance has taken into account your good game, and when your time comes, you will be rewarded. You can not affect the variance, you can only play the distance and affect the quality of your game. If you lose, ask yourself, did you play well? If so, be satisfied with yourself regardless of the result. If not, find the error, figure out how to play, and write down the output for later repetition. Rejoice that your mistake indicated a weakness in the game, and now you can fix it.
Proper rest
When you lose for a long time, it is as if fog is hanging over you in ordinary life, you are in a bad mood, you are constantly in thought and annoyed by loved ones. All this only contributes to a worsening of the situation, an increase in the level of tilt. Proper relaxation is an important part of proper work.
