How do you STOP TILT. i can be months without tilting , but when i start to tilt it can last week´s, and i cant get out of this mindframe until i loose EVERYTHING.

Such a simple question... How do you Avoid , or Stop TILT.

just don't tilt, accept bad luck as a fundamental part of poker, otherwise you don't really understand the game, do you?

You tilt for weeks? Uh, if you start tilting, just close down the site and play later.

Now im a little bit more rational , the way i handle tilt, but still isnt enough, anyway the countless times i blew a bankroll due tilt have taught me something, and getting a bankroll back again requires time and lots of patience, i dont go nuts nowdays. But still can easily loose 1\3 of my bankroll spread in a couple of days due tilty play, until i stop.

That's pretty unhealthy. Just remember, tilting can be defeated by relaxation and reassurance. You're better than the field and you can take them down. Just stop for a while, take a breather, and come back when you feel you can play your best. Tilt happens to everybody, but good players overcome it. Overcome it, Gustavo, OVERCOME IT!!!

TILT is a very dangerous substance, it destroys dreams, hopes, families, and most importantly--bankrolls. Don't let TILT happen to you...

I think it would be useful for people here to post some of the ways that they avoid tilt. I for one like to take a walk or work out when I am feeling stressed out. Anyone have any other things that they do either mentally or physically to get rid of or stave off tilt?

Avoiding tilt is a learned process and takes many many many bad beats before it you get over it.

It is more important to think about your equity in a hand rather than your odds of winning it the one time. As long as you are making correct decisions no beat should really matter - if it does, then you're probably playing over your limit/bankroll.

If I do find myself getting annoyed then I think back to the only 1 outer I've ever hit and that usually makes me feel much better [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
