The moment you start analyzing your emotions instead of just excepting them as part of the game is the moment you become better at controlling them. Yes, you'll still get upset, sad or angry but instead of going on tilt you will have a conversation with yourself. For example - Me: Damn that fool with his stupid suck-out on the river. Other Me: Well, not everyone is a pro and it was only one pair even though it was AA. Me: Yeah but why does it always happen to me! Other Me: So what you're saying is that it's okay for other people to have bad luck but not for you? Me: Of course not! I just wish I could have SOME good luck once in a while. Other Me: You mean like when you caught that miracle J on the river yesterday against KK with your JJ? Me: Oh shut up and lets play poker. Whose side are you on anyway? So yeah, work out what's bugging you about the situation and then figure out why it's bugging you. [/QUOTE]
