I like this, found it very helpfull.

That's a great advice ! I actually tilt/get angry only because after losing a hand or a couple of them I talk to myself - I smear other players, curse etc.

God, I do have to stick to the rules you posted Sheitan.

lol same thing Gawuss, i used to start insulting the fish who pulled the suck out on me then i progressivly get enraged start to hit things and yell hehe, hopefully i've learned to stfu and keep playing calmly, i should have added to not berate the idiot in the chat cuz it doesn't serve you for obvious reasons.

I don't think it's about giving in so much as reframing your perspective so you don't have any pressure (that you need to constantly keep in check just to make sure your head doesn't explode spontaneously).

Horrible horrible horrible players never tilt because they have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Not results oriented < Disoriented.



imo the cursing thing is person to person. Some people can really benefit from just letting that stuff loose verbally if they really need to.

wrong. the main purpose of poker is money.

when it comes down to it it's all about about the money. and only monies.

right decisions just simply help you make money a bit faster.

what can you do against tilt besides just resist it?

take breaks a decent amount of the time tho. i put in 70k hands in november. ran like dog shit and still stayed sane and not broke.

a few things kept me from going over the edge.

1. weed.
2. frequent breaks (i took a break every 1k hands or so depending if i felt frustrated or not. If i was winning and playing good i'd prolly keep going)
3. for me personally. going over the sessions' stats mid way through and look over graphs and shit helps reassure me that i'm playing good and not just sucking hard.

and for after bad sessions don't just mull over it although it does feel good sometimes to just whine and vent and shit. But don't let it make your day shit. cuz you'll just be miserable then.

I can give you a one word answer that will fix your problem

i dont think thats what maryn means

focusing on long term right decisions instead of focusing on winning every pot, you simply cant realising this helped me out too.

+ try not to get angry, when you get angry your IQ drops so you will make worse decisions after
