Message: [QUOTE="Tigroslav, post: 6549256, member: 483493"] Speaking as an IM (International Master) I can say that I never get tilted in a chess game and in poker I sometimes get very tilted because the unexpected miracle runners bail out bad plays. In Chess it is always your own mistakes that get you. If you have good preparation and calculation your opponent can't beat you unless you don't want a draw and force it too much to win or end up losing because of it (some players don't like draws and do this, myself included) but that too is your own choice and no reason to get tilted about. The most tilting part in poker is when bad players get rewarded constantly with coolers their way or winning every hand they play. Imagine you open 2x UTG with AA you get 2 limps in MP then button reraises 6x you go all in and everybody calls and turns over junk like A9o QTo and 89o and flop comes 888. That's just bingo players gambling and getting your tilt on. [/QUOTE]
