Default Re: how do u guys deal with tilting?

The best way to deal with tilt is to be prepared for bad beats and such to happen. You just need the proper mindset. When you sit down to begin playing for the day KNOW the following:
1) It's all one big game, each hand and session is a drop in the bucket
2) Luck is part of the game, but you're going to play and learn from every hand the best you can
3) Bad beats/suckouts are good, they come from the same people who don't hit that draw the other 9 out of 10 times and are paying you off
4) You will not win every hand. Even the best players in the world have bad days, they get sucked out on too
5) Do not be too proud to realize you've been outplayed. You're not the best in the world... yet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Other things that you can avoid that can contribute to tilt:
1) Playing beyond your bankroll.
2) Having too much on your mind. Not in the right "mood" to play.

I'm sure there's more that you can tell youreslf but I believe you get the idea. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If there's anything of note here I missed; somebody help me out and post it.
