Default Getting Rid Of A Tell

I was playing live the other day, and a player pointed out to me that my earlobes turn red whenever I have a huge hand. Any ideas on how to control this?

I do feel myself get flustered times when I flop the nuts.

1. Pierce your ears?

or

2. Gray hoodie, wrap-around shades, Unabomber-style.

Edit: Sarcasm.

one of those comfy lumberjack hats that have the ear flaps. I'd go with the red flannel.

Seriously? Do people use these to help them with poker. Can't they mess up your concentration sometimes?

Yes, they are a type of high blood pressure medicine that dampens out, or buffers, your adrenergic surges (fight or flight response). They are very safe and do not affect your mentation. I have used them prior to academic presentations to aleviate stage fright and they work very well, no tranquilization affect. If you have a family MD simply tell him you would like some samples, tell him the truth or tell him they are for stage fright, they are not addictive and he will probably give you some. Propanolol is a common one. If you get a pounding heart, red face or shaky hands when you get a monster they will help. We can't all be like Phil Ivey.

Play more live poker, particularly at lower stakes that dont matter like 2/4 or 3/6.
