GOD I AM SUCH A HERO" seriously, try just giving yourself ridiculous excessive praise (and actually saying it aloud) when you do anything good. it will help a LOT

I have a momentum stop loss, like as soon as I lose a certain amount hands where the control of the match has been shifted im normally quiting shortly. I avoid bad sessions by making sure I feel like playing before I do.

hookers and cocaine obv.

I do this when I'm winning as well as losing so it doesn't count

3 buyins stoploss. No matter what is happening, and whether you think you are tilting or not, stop playing as soon as you hit 3buyins down for a session.

I cry

I read your blog and you should drop back to 10NL and evaluate your hands that have lost in big pots.

But back on topic, you should just relax, play games, go out with friends, chill with girls, etc.
And sex is always a good stress reliever, if you can't have sex I suppose masturbating is a good alternative.

Yup.

I actually do the running thing too.
Run bad -> lose weight. Gain weight -> Run hot.
I CAN'T LOSE!

Breaking things while you're running also works.

I like going on a microstakes rampage

i usually FUCKIN MAN UP AND DEAL WITH IT






or i stomp a nigga out

i drive around town with the windows closed and just shout weird random stuff...

I'm so tilted right now, gonna go out and run 10km or so...

i used to go to the gym , but after few months of poker i realized its gonna be much cheaper 4 me if i buy my own fitness set.

lol @ myth's post i do that from time to time as well out of habit. Lines such as

"wtf was he thinking?"

"oh my god i'm so sick"

"I just owned his soul"

etc.

oh that will do 1 of 2 things.

give you some confidence.

or you turn into an egotistical fuck who thinks he's teh shit.

also: OP you should consider smoking a bowl after a bad session if you do indeed smoke cuz that's a great way to relax imo.

i just call up tokeweed and bitch about it, then he drives around town lol
