Hmmm, can't say I agree with the post but realize there could be be an issue with a lack of clarity.

If you are talking about tilt and then letting tilt affect one's game, then right, I agree gon4ippes. I am very disciplined when it comes to tilt.

However, I find the idea of not expressing anger at all a little pointless.

A quick angry vent lets off steam and we all do so pretty much all day long. We drop food on the floor, we miss a deadline, someone is rude to us. We don't then prescribe or advise 'oh, never get angry in life'. We accept we are going to get annoyed and work through it. Most of us are not walking around rage filled 24/7 because we 'allow' ourselves to be annoyed in the moment.

So in poker I feel I am right to anger when some idiot plays a weak hand against me and sucks out. I do not tilt, it does not affect my next hand, but I do not pretend it has not (or should not) affect me in the moment. Things seldom last long with me but on occasions a bad beat/fluke hand has bugged me for the rest of the day. And to be frank, as we are all human I actually believe that is how we are supposed to react.
