Re: Stopping when you know you are on tilt
You make some great points that I am going to remember. This one in particular. [ QUOTE ]
Quitting is an escape that bypasses the tilt problem, but doesn't alleviate us from the psychological root of the issue; tilt is the result of a "gambling mentality" (the need to get even, the emotional effect of losing money, etc.) and the only real way to fight it is to not let it happen at all.

I have to wonder about what I think your post is saying. Are you saying that to play tiltless poker you must not enjoy it, make it a job, and remove the emotion from it? You then say that once you accomplish this you will be much more peaceful, relaxed, and playing more profitably. How can this be? As much as I hate the sorrow of poker and how cruel the cards can be I do enjoy an occasionial full house.
If we make poker bland then why play at all?
