Title: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: Sark79 on June 29, 2006, 12:51:29 AM Like almost everyone who plays poker, I don't think Tilt effects me. I feel that I can control it by sitting out a hand or two after a bad beat. I usually select a song from U-Tube and watch it or mess about on wikipedia until I feel calm again. However this is just my view, perhaps I do suffer from it without being aware of it.
Earlier this evening, I lost a pot after only the second hand of sitting down at the table. I re-bought in and the same thing happened straight away. Both times I held K,K and both times I was raised all in by complete and utter garbage J,3 os and T,5 os. I was $160 down after 5 mins. I still felt relaxed and decided to play until I recovered my loses. After 3 hours I managed to do this. I just texted my mate and he said this is classic tilt. Of course, I disagree completely with this. Is playing until you feel content with your nights work a sign of Tilt or is this just being highly motivated to keep your good run in order?

Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: Sark79 on June 29, 2006, 12:55:01 AM Is that tilt?
Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: Royal Flush on June 29, 2006, 12:57:03 AM I would say yes!
Although i call having 8h 9h on a Th Jh Qh flop vs Ahrt Kh a bad beat, you are never ahead, its a cold deck but that for me is a kind of bad beat! Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: bolt pp on June 29, 2006, 12:58:16 AM did you read tightends piece on tilt?

Post by: Royal Flush on June 29, 2006, 01:27:33 AM Tilt = playing anyway other than what you normally percieve to be the best play in any given situation. Due to an earlier beat...... Otherwise its just playing shit! Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: thetank on June 29, 2006, 01:36:25 AM Could be due to some pissant at the table who's got you off your game, not necessarily a beat.
Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: bolt pp on June 29, 2006, 01:38:40 AM yeah but thats a weaker excuse than a bad beat.
Title: Re: How Would You Define Being On Tilt? Post by: thetank on June 29, 2006, 01:46:14 AM They're both pretty lame in the cold light of day.
We just choose to accept tilting after a beat as almost acceptable as it's such a common occurence. Shouldn't really, being at one with the hedgehog, you never tilt. Prickly though.
