What do you do to avoid tilt?

I strive to always maximize the quality of my decisions since it's easier to stay tilt-free when you know you have played your best.

When I multitable online I usually play 1 hour sessions where I focus fully on my game without listening to music, chatting or surfing the web.

Each time I'm faced with a non-routine decision, I pause and take few seconds to think things through, often verbally (I raise because ...). Even if the choice seems simple, I force myself to pause and think.

Taking these small pauses before I choose what to do may be the single most important thing I do to stay off tilt. Losing a hand I was favored to win doesn't affect me when I know I have played correctly.
