Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 963216, member: 6020"] just to revisit this, there's the stuff everyone has posted - read poker mindset or zen and the art of poker, stop playing, have some hyper-aggressive animalistic sex, whatever. a few months ago i had a sort of 'awakening' that pretty much stopped me from tilting ever. simply put, if you don't tilt - given that you play a lot of low/mid stakes poker, your single greatest advantage over other L/MSNL regs is (or would be) the fact that you don't tilt. actually to be honest, there's only so much reading a book or even reading posts like this can do for you. it's sort of like trying to stop smoking while reading a book that tells you that smoking is bad for you and you're going to die and blah blah blah - you already know all this deep down, and reading about it isn't going to necessarily help you stop. when i take a few beats now (and 10-tabling you tend to get them in droves at a time), i smile. i smile because i know that probably 95% of players would let it affect their game, and hence the beats i've taken have, in a strange way, allowed me to manifest my edge over most other players. now, in essence, i don't tilt now for the same reason that i don't play 94s UTG. this doesn't stop me from slamming my fist on my desk or something every now and then, but the meeting of fist and desk is just a quick release - once fist and desk have got acquainted then all is well. if you do tend to punch things or throw things, just treat the punching/throwing as a 'gateway', a sort of 'i was tilted before i threw my cat out of the window but now i am not' sort of thing.
