tilt too lightly, halp - Page 2

pokerstars' stress ball or star

play overrolled for your limit so losing a buyin or 2 doesnt phase you at all.

im waiting for neilly's input on the matter

dont really think this is a solution as this will just make the amount of bi's your willing to lose on tilt to be larger or something of that nature

something that used to help me a bit was to think of a person i hate and have that person be next to me, me holding a big wad of money and i would be like

"here, i hate u and im angry, take this money.. TAKE IT .. ahhh TAKEEE IT!" while i would throw some green to him!


In general, i think everyone has a triggering point where some sort of frustration/anger starts kicking in. Usually the better the player the harder it is to trigger this.

Experience helps a bunch, but a constant vigilance on how your state of mind is is really important. Once you start feeling a bit of anger/frustration stop before u reach the point of no return, otherwise known as the 'neilly point'

A graphical representation of this would be nice.

Anyways training that will get your tolerance better and better.

I used to be just like you and im not very sure if im allowed to post this but here are the 3 articles that actually changed me :

i think people are different because this doesnt affect me at all, its the more the fact that i outplayed someone and lost anyway regardless of the money involved

welcome to my life

I tried to click off the chat too, but after 5 bad beats I insta click it on and tell everyone they are a fucking idiot. Radiohead has berated me for it on msn many times, and I agree its stupid behavoiour. Somehow I just cant help myself.

Best solution for me was to email the site and ask them to chat bann me permanent :D It has helped A LOT so far for my tilt...

I agree, that just thinking about making right decisions, and not about about making money helps alot.

Also just dont give a damn about variance, just think "I got it in with the best hand so w/e", thats what I do. It helps.

take a 2 hour time out and watch some tv

i actually did get banned twice and it helps a ton
never asked for it though and was almost disappointed when realized it wasnt revoked for good

If I'm tilting and I'm not calming down, but I just want to let out aggression I'll move to 2nl and just donk shove everything for a couple hands. Most you'll likely is what $10? Depending on your limit that may not be an option, but there is always play money as well.
