I can distinguish a bad mood. When I do stop to count cards and make illogical moves.

The complex science of psychology,my failures, self-confidence and tension tilt then you can just go down.

My main error
1 - not the ability to finish the game in time (feel tired, you still continue to play).
2 - do not care (often distracted)
Maybe them and more on itself but looking from the side I see is these two.
The whole struggle with them is reduced to attempts to forcibly bring himself to move away from the computer. And in the second case - trying to force himself not to get distracted from the game. I leave the room where no one has, not turn on the TV, try not to answer the phone during the game.

The main thing - to be able to control the excitement. If you can - half the work done.

tilt is my biggest issue. and not negative tilt, but positive. I make a couple of hero calls and cooler someone and all of a sudden i think i am unbeatable then revert back to the mean. It's a leak because i end up making bad plays because i assume I always have the nuts while on a stretch of run-good.

Fatigue and tilt after which continue to play-most of my big mistakes

KALUGAJ · Feb 3, 2017

Too I want winning every hand and this is probably a mistake, because the opponent also wants to win. I play a lot of hands, which means a lot of losses and psychologically me suddenly down

And I often bluffing unfounded. especially at the end of the tournament and therefore I leave the game. Learn from the mistakes. But not me. And pulls repeat again.

Youre not alone... I tend to tilt when i have played for a long time (hours). I know that is my weakness and try to think about it... maybe it will be better in time. But i wonder... is there anyone that have any advice how to overcome this problem?

SweatPea · Feb 4, 2017

i can become distracted playing online, i try to create a zone where i have 100% concentration, of course that docent always work lol.

Tilting from over-excitement can be just as detrimental as tilting from bad beats, Keep yourself in check when doing well and when doing poorly to maximise profits

I sometimes seek revenge when I am upset by a player and this tends to lead to poor choices by me

also I should follow my gut more and I would live to play more poker lol
good luck on the felts!
