Re: How to Stop TilT
All good advice.
Tilt is inevitable. I know of no one who can retain his equanimity under every circumstance.
A couple of tips a friend once gave me:
1 If you make your third mistake in a session; stop right then and there. If it was a BIG one, don't even wait for the blinds. Quit. And relax.
2 Be honest with yourself. Every mistake you (or someone else) makes is more than just a mistake. It is an opportunity to 'grow' as a player. Don't let your ego get in the way of your game.
3 Try to draw up some ground rules you need to play by. Something like Ciaffone&Reuben's Ten Commandments. Not adhering to them is mistake number one before you even start.
On a side note. This forum has given me many hours of pleasant lurking already and more than enough material to improve on my game. Thanks all of you who don't know me; you might be seeing more of me in the future.
