For me it's not so much other players or players mistakes that tilt me, I can live with those because we all want to play against sub standard players, it's the mistakes I which I make that do it. The last 2 iancredible 100's I've played I've spunked away 3 x average chip stacks in 2 hands because I'd made a bad call when I knew I shouldn't have. It's like I'm trying to punish myself for the error. I need to change my attitude.
Cue Barry.
Same for me - Although getting muffed is obv fustrating, after I've done the usual "FFS" 'Massive sigh' etc it doesn't bother me at all or put me on tilt - Only thing that puts me on tilt is me!! |

I tilt the wrong way most of the time. Instead of peeling when I shouldn't and mashing chips in for no reason, I tend to fold hands I should open and this normally results in additional frustration when my tilted results-oriented brain kicks in. Eventually I just become a silent, hunched over teenager in a hoody making sure all my chips are the same way up and going over that brutal river/bad flop peel/poorly-timed cold 5 in my head.
Also I try even harder to look at the game objectively when I'm on tilt, which means I don't allow for momentum and confidence even when I do start winning pots. This is not so bad online of course, but in live poker everyone fears "the rush."
I try to file away hands that I could have played differently or bad beats into a mental filing cabinet. All credit to Honeybadger for that technique. The second that cabinet gets full and I have to leave the file "sofuckinglucky.txt" on the mental desk where I can see it and can't resist peeking at it, that's the moment I'm supposed to pick up and run for the cash desk. At Gala, I always seem to reach that moment when the shutters on the bank are down for a few minutes, and this is plenty of time for me to go broke!

When it comes round to you to act? Imagine how slow poker would be if everyone did that |

Imagine how slow poker would be if everyone did that I tend to look as the person before me is about to act that way most the people are concentrating on him if I do have any tells they may get through! What slows the game down is people thinking for too long which tilts me bad!! |
