The best way to prevent tilting at a live game.
Every time you would have made a tilt-worthy bet (Like limping A7o UTG), fold instead and put the amount that you would have bet into a side stack; your "tilt pot". Also, if you would have kept on betting had you made the tilt bet (lets say your folded A7o had flopped an ace), put the amount you would have bet or called had you kept on playing the hand into the tilt pot. If you would have lost the hand, consider that money saved and the stack will coninue to grow and grow.
I had a stack of $42 at the end of the day (3/6 holdem $100 buy-in) after only a couple of hours. The sight of those chips (and the diminished size of your normal betting stack) will help to keep your mind straight. Whether or not you remove money from the tilt pot had your folded hand actually taken the pot is up to you [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Amazing idea, Spaded.
Now for a way to translate that to my online play.

Good idea. Let's just hope no 7 fell on the river, while AK took down a big pot. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
For online games I guess you could do something like writing down the amount on a paper, or even put some money aside in a jar.

Re: The best way to prevent tilting at a live game.
What might you do if the hand you folded instead of playing hits and you would have indeed won the hand. do you have a SUPER TILT side stack then as well???
That would truelly suck. Genius idea all around though!

Re: The best way to prevent tilting at a live game.
I've been doing something similar in online games--writing down each win and loss $. This probably does more to help my concentration than to prevent going on tilt.
Interestingly, last night I folded a pocket pair of deuces and dutifully wrote down the loss of a blind, only to watch two more 2's come along--I would have had 4 of a kind. The hand was won by a <font color="red"> straight flush</font> . I'm not sure what column I should log the money I saved in. Maybe I need to start a Miracle Fund.
