Default Re: A subject covered extensively - Tilting

[ QUOTE ]
All good and interesting feedback. Incidently the first rotation I played today (earlier today) I took a real BAD beat, lost my stack and decided to stop playing until perhaps tomorrow. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Best choice. I don't tilt from bad beats. My tilt comes when I play 5 hours of breakeven/losing poker even though I'm playing mostly correctly. Just missing draws, missing big cards, stuff like that. I usually take a day off after a session like that. If I'm running bad when I come back I'll take 2 or 3 days off.

I can handle suckouts. When I'm bleeding money away slowly for 6 hours or 2 days of full sessions I start to doubt myself and change my game for the worse (way less aggression, not trusting my reads). Even though I know I'm a winning player I have trouble not doing it. When I walk away and come back a few days later I can put the bad session out of my head and go back to playing my normal game.
