Tilt ???? How do you fight him ????

So I caught a tilt, unexpectedly that I could not be emotionally attentive to myself, advise to and to you decide this moment

Everybody has their own way of how to deal with tilt. The way I deal with tilt I just accept the fact that the unpredictable outcome can happen anytime. Always be humble and know that no matter how good of a poker player you are there will be times where luck just doesn't come your way.

You can also deal with tilt by taking a deep breath, walking away, quitting the game and finding something else to do, pray, meditate, etc. Just always make sure that you stay humble and never feel entitled to the game because poker never owes you anything at the end of the day.

Hi.
I prevent tilt very easily. I follow bankroll management, wait patiently for good cards and do not play with junk. Thanks to this, I always control my emotions and enjoy the game.
Good luck.

Chris Wallace said it right in the thread here at Card Chat when he says that "you have to forget about the last hand and focus on just playing the current hand the best you can". If you can't do that then I 'd suggest asking yourself why you are so emotionally attached to something that already happened and you have absolutely no chance of changing now.

I would also suggest you find a proven strategy(if you already haven't) that goes with how you play poker (ie tight, loose etc) from either a book or advice from a coach or proven winner so when things go bad, you have something to rely on to validate your reasoning for your move and the outcome so you can avoid tilt.


If its a cash game I just use odds, a tourn then its a little more complicated with stack size at the table, my stack size to the blinds, payouts, and etc. My point is find something that you can say, "They got lucky on me or I made a mistake and they caught me so lets play better next hand" without the emotion.

But if you still tilt, you could take time off, take a break or just and do other things. If I was playing a cash game at a casino and somebody got lucky on me and it upset me then I would just get up and walk away and do my best not to say anything to anyone on the way out.

And that's happened to me after driving 2+ hours one way to a casino after playing like only 5 hands!!!!! But driving home down 1 buyin was always, always better than going home down 2-3 or more buyins, lol!!

My point is once you understand there are CONSEQUENCES for playing tilted like destroying your win rate, giving away money or UTTERLY DESTROYING YOUR POKER BANKROLL THAT you actually worked hard to build then tilt might go away a little faster, just a little, lol.

GL getting over your tilt.

Stop playing for a certain time to fight tilt is the best solution.

Yes, I also decided for myself to look at my game strategies and take a break to return with great forces

Usually, in order to avoid tilt, you need to draw up a game plan, without this tilt can not be avoided. With a game plan, risks can be significantly reduced.

Hello.
I easily, elementary control my emotions, primarily through daily meditation. Meditation allows me to be focused and patient, which in turn has a positive effect on my discipline.

I already learned that losing is part of the variance so there is no reason to get angry

Yes, I realized this too, sorting out my mistakes, I continue to study materials, watch training videos, videos about poker of famous poker players

Tilt was a problem for me when I started to play and it's easy to say that you need to control yourself, be focused and follow your bankroll management, but if tilt is a problem for you, it's not easy to do all those things. I learned how to deal with tilt when I started to accept that bad beats will happen all the time and if I want to play poker I need to accept them.

I think restraint and patience are key behaviors at these faces. This means that there must be a long term plan and strategy!

Over time I got used to controlling that feeling, it is still as painful as at the beginning but today I already take it normal, when it happened I reflected a lot since I was left out of my tournaments because of that feeling and it helped me a lot to see in forums As the others dealt with the same situation and the conclusion is the same, always learning to control and dominate that feeling, it helps me a lot to be listening to music.

I also begin to think so, it's good that it happened so early, and now I can avoid it and be confident in myself

Oh yes, music, I also play with music so that the environment does not distract from the game, it happens that your favorite moment in the song gets to victory, you start singing along and dancing [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

I think tilt disappears when you play 15-20 tables a day you get used to the random number generator sometimes it transports you and sometimes it helps you he is your friend you need to understand this at a distance everything comes

I do not have tilt, at least for the last 5 years it was not. The reason is that with experience I became a patient and disciplined player. I have been playing poker for more than 10 years, and now the most important thing for me is my right decisions, regardless of luck.

I still have enough strength for 2-5 tables a day, and a maximum of 3 days a week, well, I'm not a super player yet[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Wow, after 10 years, I think I won't pay attention to this either.

If I am on tilt in a freeroll it is no big deal. Almost as true if I never play with money I can’t afford to lose.

Try not to fight it.

Just say, "Hello tilt! I see you have visited me again. I will not play anymore poker until you have passed."

Read Jared Tendler The Mental Game of Poker

If it's a cash game - just take 30 minutes off

If not - you just have to get used to the feeling and push through it

You really have to go outside or something, i think is the best.

Or you can lose everything

Everything which happened up to THIS very instant in history is set in stone, completely unchangeable!
Don't ponder on your past bad luck or mistakes for even a second (not irl, but in a game), because it'll just drag you down emotionally, further weakening your future play. Instead concentrate on what lies before you and act accordingly.
