Yesterday I came up with a thought, why should I always win at all. Poker is not chess, the opponent almost always has his% to win. After these thoughts, harmony came.



I feel I am now what you call take a day kinda guy, only realizing this now

The only real way to conquer tilt is by gaining a firm understanding of the laws of probability.

Also, dealing with anger can go a long way. I suggest the treatise, "On Anger" by Seneca as your treatment.

This book is medicine for the mind. ;)

I used tilt a lot, not saying I do not anymore, I just control it better. After something bad happens, I take deep breath, relax and play the next hand as though I just joined the game. Forget what just happened, start fresh next hand.

In poker, it's hard to avoid the tilt that even the best players face !!! The only thing we can do is to follow the rules of bankroll management in a disciplined manner and work on our mistakes !!!


Ding ding ding!! We have a winner for the best post of the thread.

Whenever I tilt it's mental never emotional cause that is how you lose control of yourself and start gambling out of your bankroll that you don't need to be doing like that. I just deal with the fact that you're not going to win all the time in the game of poker and accepted that there will be bad beats, bad luck, bad days, etc. Once you accept that reality and stop thinking you're going to win all the time tilt won't affect you that much.

Yes. Yes I do. Time, my friend. Time is the poker players unsung friend and accomplice, imo. In time tilt will seem like an old girlfriend. You'll always remember that breakup, the heartbreak from it, the painful, internal search to find out where it went wrong, etc.
At least, in my travels, this seems to be the case. Eventually it doesn't even matter when the beat comes because it's just another one. Once we can accept this the next chapter in our poker book will open.
Until that day comes may I recommend cannabis? It's a great relaxing herb and can be ingested in several applications. GL. :canabis:

Tilt is a matter of course. The best remedy in my opinion is to write a set of rules to follow when playing. (Of course these rules should be written when you are away from the tables). Do not exaggerate. About 15 rules at most. Some use it to address tilt. Others to improve your game. Read these rules 1x a day. And apply them to your game as much as you can.

Usually tilt from bad beats, right? At the first possible opportunity I usually take a break and get some rest. Works wonders, sometimes. For instance, this morning I was getting bad beat on the river ferociously. I took a break and went out to lunch with my wife. We had a great time and I returned to the game feeling refreshed. I won part of the losses back. In the evening after comfy time with my wife I returned to the game and ended up ahead for the day. I guess after 40 years of playing I don't tilt anymore. But I do like the opportunities other tilted players seem to offer me.

The correct bankroll allows you to avoid tilt, I always lay in a situation where something can go wrong, another time it will be the other way around :)

Tilt in freerolls and tilt in professional players are different concepts.

The biggest fight of all is with yourself, tilt only exists from you.

For me, the best remedy for tilt is a good mood. Remember that this is just a game and think positive!

Tilt is tilt, a mind state already installed, no remedy but wait the passing time, break and back for more.

I close my eyes and take three deep breaths, while not thinking about anything. It helps me a little to get out of the tilt.

it’s hard to fight tilt, you need to go outside for a while to get some fresh air when you come home, turn on a movie and eat delicious food
