Dealing with tilt constantly... but it's recognizable.  I can feel when I'm tilting big time.  i'm anxious to make back chips that I lost, rather than playing sensible and folding in the right spots.  above poster said don't think of your chips as money... well it's true.. just play your game, play the cards, play the player... don't worry about the value.  Fold when you know ur beat... go with the gut!

I remember the days when I didn't even know what tilt was... the novice days.  Seemed like the more I learned the worse I did over the years... (or the competition got that much better than me)  The more I played and saw horrible beats coming at me the more I tilted... I was so tilted, I quit online poker a couple of times for a LONG time.  I'm just now coming back from a 1 1/2 - 2 year absence because I just kept tilting my money away when I would get run over.

I love the game, and I am coming to terms with u just can't win them all, sure I still get upset when I take a horrible river beat all-in... but as another player mentioned above... it's when we're all in we're at risk.  SLOW THE EFF DOWN is what I keep telling myself now.  Don't get married to TPTK, play small hands for small value, big hands for big value... I'm learning to play post-flop, and not pre-flop (anyone can preflop all-in)   TIME TO LEARN!
