Look at a game Bernies, like he is playing hands for all game. Deep breatche to don't show emotions or whatever. Check out last videos from Dublin tournament, when he lose in final with Polish player Urbanovich. He is absoulety amator but his behavior is very frustrating.

Peace!

You must be prepared and ready for all the different outcomes you might face in the game!
We all have big losses and been angry about a lost against a bingo player but never been close to the fire of psychosis.
I will say you need to realize that every Poker hand outcome could be even a win or a lost, that is why the variance exist.
If you realize this when it happens just walk away and remember that it is happening to many other players. :icon_scra

I find using my vaporizer and enjoy two bags of quality herb gives me a nice mellow buzz. I might play slower but I play way better.

Nervious situations and possible subsequent tilt help us to memorize our mistakes. It is useful enough thing. You only need to be far from guns, knifes and open windows in case of very offensive loss )

Mindfulness, deep breaths, even letting yourself curse and yell for a moment after a bad beat or missed play then let it go.

I find for me that more upbeat music helps keep focused, and taking a deep breath before, during, and after a big play (well online at least, I don't want to give away tells live, so live I would likely mentally self talk and tell myself to remain calm and focused).

Also what I found recently helps is that if I feel I'm playing tilted or scared or suffered a bunch of bad beats, I'll drop to a lower level briefly and get some confidence back. I thought it was silly but it actually makes me feel better, gets me focused again, and then I go back to my level ready to crush.

I had a big win a few weeks ago which changed my perspective and also took pressure off those nervous moments in poker play. Which I think is incorrect , I shouldn't let the win influence me either way but from a human perspective it's nice to have a win put me in the black and not feel like the account is just going down down down lol.
