When tilt is good.....

[mosquito]

I think it is important that people realize that while
going on tilt is -EV short term, and a potential long
term problem, an intelligent player will make tilt something
that they learn from. Therefore, +EV long term.

Before the flames start, let me give some examples.

1. Recognition of tilt moods allows a player to correct/
quit much sooner. +EV

2. Review of tilt hands will allow recognition of tendencies
in self of poor play, allowing for correction. +EV

3.Occasionally tilt may allow you to expand your repretoire.
Today while I was slightly on tilt, I tried and succesfully
executed a more advanced NL steal play than I would normally
attempt. This time, I was rewarded with success when the opp
folded. Of course I could have been bluffing with the best
hand, but it seems unlikely. I now have a new tool, which
can be applied with proper care and caution. +EV

4. If you can figure out what 'caused' the tilt, you can
grow as a person. It may require seeking help, but at least
you have a start. ++++EV

I'm sure there is more, but that's a good start.
