Re: a quick excercise - Describe how you feel and act when you are on Tilt
When I am on bad tilt in hold em, I start thinking like an omaha player. When I have a set, even if its the nuts, I tend to feel like I know that I need to redraw againt the straight that I know it coming on the turn.
I start getting afraid of running into the nutflush when I hold a lower flush.
What else? I stop paying attention to other peoples betting patterns. Sometimes I misread the board too. For example, I might put in too many bets with a flush on a paired board against a rock for example.
I start three betting a lot more preflop. I might 3 bet with as little as sevens against an EP raiser for example. Against an MP raiser, I'll probably 3 bet pocket fives or better.
What else? My head gets really hot, like Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite. I might get angry at another player, but I don't say anything.
This stuff doesn't happen all at once though. It happens in gradations. I almost always quit before it gets bad.
