Default Re: C\'mon....does anyone seriously not TILT?

I have really improved this aspect of my game, but once in a while that tiltmonster will still get ahold of me. Most of the time now I can just shake off a bad beat, but say its a huge pot, and an improbable draw comes in to beat me, and I'm already down for the session before that hand, well then I may start steaming. When it happens I have learned to get up and walk around, or just go home. Once you become even a pretty good player, I think controlling tilt is the most important factor in keeping that winrate up. Last year I was about a 1/2 bet an hour winner, and I'm pretty sure going on tilt and playing like a jackass at times is what kept me from winning much more. I haven't learned to control tilt from reading or being a smart guy, I have learned from multiple 16-hour marathon donkey sessions, where I lost over $1000. Pure operant conditioning.
