Message: [QUOTE="mina271, post: 6287571, member: 207307"] First of all you should ask yourself why you tilted. is it because you lost to a donk and you had the better hand and still lost? Well, that's poker and it's not just the best hands that win. I was in a tournament and I was in the big blind with a pocket pair of AA's all but the small blind had folded and he put me all in. At the show down I saw that he had 23 in his hand so I felt safe because I had the AA in my hand. But then the flop came and immediately came 23x and I was busted and he was through. Of course this could lead to some people tipping but I've learned my lesson that no hand is safe and you always have to reckon with the possibility of losing. If you accept that you can lose even with good hands then there is no reason to tilt. If I play now and see that my hands are worthless no matter how good they are, then I try to play even more attentively and pay more attention to how the others at the table are playing [/QUOTE]
