I dabbled in this topic for my opening post here at CC "The life of a Grinder" and gave a brief story about how events, results impact my thought process and attitude.

We cannot escape tilt, those who advise you to "stop tilting" are giving advise that they themselves are guaranteed to not follow. An important step in improving your poker game is accept the reality of the situation, accept that tilt is part of the overall game, and don't aspire to not tilt, instead work on tilting better.

I Don't know how many of you have read Tommy Angelo's "Elements of Poker" but I encourage everyone to pick up this book and I will try to summarize Tommy although his chapters on tilt are far too good to be summarized.

~~Everyone tilts, everyone has an A-game that they start out playing. When we tilt not all of us (in fact, very few but the elite) players have a B-game. Most of us start out with tilting taking us for an immediate dip to our E and F game. By recognizing a few factors which cause us to tilt, then recognizing in what form our tilt materializes we can begin the process of "trimming off" the tilt. ~~

Like anything else in life poker requires hard work and dedication, temporary success can come to those with an abundance of natural talent for the game, but it will not keep them healthy and does not guarantee longevity. Focus on where you need to tighten up, work on your mindset and approach to the game. Remember that to be successful in poker it is more important HOW you think, not WHAT you think about.
