Emotional control

Well guys, I've busted 2 rolls and the first super tilt I ever went on....I busted a 40 dollar roll and I deserved it. I grinded it up from 3 dollars over the period of about a week. I went on a horrible run of bad luck while I was still playing good....Kept floating in between 25 and 40 and could not hit 41 to save my life....I got sucked out on in a huge pot when I was a 95% favorite in a gigantic pot....I was up 10 buyins (I bought in for 1.20) and a guy rivered me and I got so pissed....I've never got that mad over a game of cards....then went to a heads up table and played way out of my roll and lost it all on the first hand.

From now on, anytime I ever get mad....I'm quitting......for the rest of the day. That was stupid, and I knew better than to do that. A week of good, solid play and 1 tilt session destroyed me.

Well then if nothing else it was a learning experience and you took away what you could from and sounds like your not gonna dwell on the bad...good luck

that happens, and that is a BIG tilt for us low level players, owee, gl building back up

That is the worst part about going on tilt. It takes a lot of discipline and time to build up, but it only takes a couple minutes to tilt it all away.

i like spankin something to releaf ....... usually i come into PO chat and spank gimme ......... :)

Established pro Andrew Robl is known for winning over 1 million dollars over several months when he was an unknown, going on one major tilt session and giving back EVERYTHING. He of course won it all back along with millions more.

At least you are aware you are tilting. Great! Now do something about it.

Thank god it was only 40 dollars and didnt happen when i grinded it up to over 10 thousand

At least you have a chance to learn from it and hopefully put your tilting to a minimum.

I'm setting a 2 buyin rule from now on...if im down 2 buyins I quit for at least an hour.....if I return and lose the next buyin....I'm done for the day. If ever catch myself getting emotional, i have to quit even if I'm winning

ya quitting does sound like it would be the best decision to make in that situation however dont get to down on your self about this because this is something that alot of other people who play will experience from time to time so its not like your the only one this has happened to.

and here I thought you just came into chat spammed and got banned as a way to relieve tilt........................

Good idea, Quit... I was doing the same. Could not control. Get control man and start winning again. Stop tilting. You will never win.

Sounds like your trying to force discipline, why don't you focus on finding out why you tilt? (write/type it out) Why is tilting bad? What warning signs do you have? and just because you are 95% to win means nothing its called variance, its also the reason why players that suck come back to play because they have a chance to win. When they hit that 5% its just negative variance and shouldn't cause you that much pain.

setting that type of stop loss isnt always the smartest if you are down but in a really great game with lots of fish. no better game to be able to get those buyins back and more!

been there done that. its way easy to let emotions affect your game. seem to always play my best when kicked back and relaxed not stressing on anything
