What makes you tilt?

Xavier · Oct 23, 2009

Bad beats used to make me tilt but they don't seem to so much any more now, as I know I can't stop them happening.
What makes me tilt now is when I think I played a hand badly I feel annoyed at myself and then lose my focus on the game.
I have a significant tilt problem.

...i bet you get loads of people writing here saying "stop playing hands badly"...its good advice

just try use the fact tha ur tilting in a good way
if ur tiliting, then ou know your playing a hand wrong..try look at it and say
"ok, i piss my self off when i do thaat, si i wont do that"...if its heads up or something, just press the time button for a couple of hands, and keep potsvery small.. so if you tilt, it wont cost much...if its a ring or tourney game, then sit out for 2 minutes and use a punch bag
...
that would be my advice

Fish & bad regs in god mode tilt the hell out of me every time. Example: I 4-bet to $55 with AKo, fish calls with 22. Flop comes A82, and I stack off for my remaining $145. RAGE.

Sure its a winning play in the long run, BUT OMFG THE LONG RUN IS SO LONG ASL;KDFJA;LSDKFJASLDF

Things that make me tilt is bad beats such as 5% chances of my opponents sucking out on me in a big tourney and late stages.... Also, late in tourneys and you're opponents sucks out with a hand he was dominated with and comes back to take you out a few hands later and either you miss the money or the main prize....

River suckouts which I have been suffering from way too often lately. Gotta love online poker ....

Noone and I mean noone is into it, and you'll never here it on the radio in a million years.
If you ask random people on the street round here who Garth Brooks is most won't have a clue. I only know coz I spend so much time on online forums.

Drivers who cut me off to go 2 miles an hour when no one was behind me they could have waited.
And maniacs in god mode.

I would feel better about you JD if that was a winky and not a smiley.

Country, at least today's country is the most horrible shite I can think of.

Oh you mean in poker.... Well I also no longer tilt over bad beats 2 things make me tilt 1 more than the other. The one that can make me tilt slightly is getting counterfeited I would rather you hit your ace against my 44 than for the board to come KK77J. The other is when people think they made a great call with 5 7 off after a preflop raise and the flop is 5 8 10 and I bet pot and they call and hit a 7 on the turn only to crack my KK,QQ,AA, A 10s......

Hey now, I never said I disliked anyone; to each his own. The question was what tilts you. Am I not allowed to be tilted by people that don't like country music?

(Wink instead of smiley brought to you today on behalf of Lo-Dog.

) See again.

Well I would essentially agree with you that a lot of what is classified today as "country" is shite. At the very best it could be considered a hybrid such as pop country. But there is still some real country out there that is pretty good as well.

this is starting to sound like level2 poker thinking... or perhaps... people who are thinking that I'm thinking that I have a problem with people who are thinking that I'm thinking I have a problem with people who dislike country music. (yah... I've been playing too long of sessions lately).

what tilts me... mouthy donks in chat, especially the ones who are 'minraising' while on SB to a couple/few limpers. wtf is with that?

ukaliks · Oct 24, 2009

noobs at the micro levels (bcos we all stick to bankroll management) who limp w/ Q7s and u make a nice big raise preflop w/ KK n they call and catch a flop or board like this QQx/XXQXQ.

sld2 · Oct 24, 2009

Dam Yankee · Oct 25, 2009

Gettin disconnected while I'm in a hand! By the time I get back, I'm pissed, my blood pressure is up from flinging around the f word at the putter, I'm trying to figure out who won the hand (or if I would have won - which just turns out to up the level of tilt, lol)
The second thing is the rude argumentative, arrogant butthole at the table; you know, the one that will go all-in like 8 times in a row & get so lucky that u think maybe he should be out buying lotto tix. He puts me on tilt - for a few min's. Then my revenge is waiting to set a trap for him - cuz, you know, he's reliable in his play!

valientone · Oct 25, 2009

you, aswell as a bunch of other poker players have this same problem.. including myself... the best advice i can give is to just change the atmosphere.. put on some good music.. clear your head.. just something to equalize your thoughts again..

nobby1510 · Oct 25, 2009

I tilt when i am too tired, Tiredness takes over and donk there we go!

akaCLINT · Oct 25, 2009

Indeed, being tired after some 5 hours play in a big MTT at 3am does tilt me at times...
Also having folded a playable startinghand to a preflop overbet / donkraise and then watching my wouldhavebeen quads or such hit the board...

Tilting blows, but you can control it, whenever you catch a bad beat just think about all the bad beats you have dealt out in your time, and also listening to music is also a good tilt remedy, when you take a bad beat...change the song or cd, it will take your mind off, you will see how helpful that can be.

What makes you tilt?
