I think tilt control comes with time and experience. I'm sure you guys used to tilt just like I used to. But over time, after taking horrible beats in critical spots of big tournaments, you sort of become desensitized. Once you've taken that horrible beat in a WSOP qualifier final a couple spots from winning a $15K prize package, the next time you take a beat in $5 freezeout you just shrug it off. And when I say a couple of spots from winning a $10K seat and a $5K travel allowance, I'm not talking about being short stacked to the point where somebody can justify calling my all-in or anything like that. I talking about being 2nd in chips behind a chip leader that just barely has me covered and the guy makes an all-in bluff with air against my top two pair before hitting running cards to back door a straight. Taking that pot down would have given me a 10 to 1 chip advantage over the next closest stack. I would have had a 20 to 1 advantage over the next stack behind him. When that guy turned over his bluff I started mentally packing my bags. The guy was actually congratulating me and wishing me luck in Vegas in the chat box as the board ran out. Since that beat nothing fazes me anymore. I've seen so many unbelievable runouts that nothing surprises me now. It's like "I've seen that happen before. That's nothing, though. Let me tell you about this one time I was playing for a WSOP seat..."
