Default Re: Strategies to keep from going on tilt.

I honestly don't know how often it has to work to justify the lost EV. But the same can be said for almost any play that depends upon implicit odds. We have all made plays that were not justified by the pot odds, made our hands, and then not been paid off.
We have all seen people go on tilt because of "another #$%^$# bad beat," but exactly what it takes to have that effect or how much you will lose to create it is just a crude estimate, perhaps even a guess.
I wish I could be more precise, but psychology is an inexact science.
Regards,
Al
