Default Re: Learn to play through emotion or learn to walk away?

Unless you plan to play tournaments, you are MUCH better off just quitting. The downside risk is too great.

Tilt tends to be progressive. You can pass what Mike Caro calls "The threshold of pain." Once you do so, there is hardly any limit to the amount you can lose. Some people have gone on tilt for long periods and blown their entire bankrolls.

I excluded tournament players because they have no choice. Since they must keep playing, it's better to learn how to play through tilt.

Regards,

Al
