I think wise will be make a note about situation in general and give more attention for situation later...


In the moment, we must accept that this is part of the game and take action according to the plan, you have plan right?

A good nights sleep is the only thing that really helps for me. Gotta have the discipline to quit when tilting though...

When we tilt it is because our emotions are controlling our thinking when that happens it is very difficult to return to rational thought-- We tilt when our focus is on the wrong objectives---fixing tilt involves working on it before it happens--- We need to focus on the correct objective-playing hands well to get the best results over multiple hands--- a bad beat is 1 hand- focusing on 1 hand is not our objective.:unsure::geek:

Yes, I have a good strategy and knowledge of the game, but it is difficult to control emotions

I try to remember the times I won with it. It's part of the game, mathematical speaking. It's not our fault, not of the room, not of some curse. Just happens times to times.

Yes, I have the same problem, wrong decisions start and you can't press fold where you need to

You need to constantly listen to your feelings to understand what is driving you at the moment: common sense based on analytical data, or fear, anger or hope.At the first signs of tilt I go to bed.

If I lose more than my limit, I just turn off my PC and go for a walk in the fresh air. A 30-40 minute walk always helps, saves my nerves and money :)

the thing is that I play in MTT and I can be in tilt, but I also have tables and therefore I can't leave

how do you fight tilt when you lose a heavy bad beat, what do you do, what techniques do you use or play music?
First, let’s start with a definition “Tilt” in poker refers to a mental state in which a player becomes frustrated, emotional, or irrational, often leading to poor decision-making and loss of control over their game. It is a common psychological phenomenon in competitive games like poker.

Players often experience tilt after a bad beat (when they lose despite a strong hand), a series of unlucky hands, or even due to external factors like personal stress. While on tilt, a player may begin to make impulsive moves, chase losses, or play recklessly, which can lead to more losses.

The key to managing tilt is emotional control. Successful poker players learn to recognize when they are on tilt and take steps to refocus, whether that means taking breaks, calming down, or using mental techniques to refocus on their strategy.

For my personal case, when I lose a big shot where I start to feel the tilt, I try to move a little, change air for my case I smoke a little, I smoke a little good weed in Morocco, I do not recommend you to smoke, but I know well about weed, I know how to find good quality that relaxes me a little when I feel the tilt and my brain starts to warm up I take a little and sometimes I leave the game completely I rest, after when I analyze my behavior I find that I tilt a lot in the evening when I am sleepy, I do not make good decisions and I make mistakes that ruin my bankroll, but but it is necessary have to stay strong and behave like a warrior in poker, you have to know that succeeding in poker requires patience.

I'm sure you've had the experience of delivering a bad beat to your enemy.
Please remember that.

For me to get over “Tilt” I had to read poker psychology books just like you would to learn any other skill in poker.
Basically it took me to wonder why I am even tilting in the first place. Why am I so entitled to win anything at this game? Because I study? Because I have more experience? Is this not just a game? What is wrong with me and why am I feeling this way? How is the way I feel affecting my decisions now?
So I had to really dig deep and figure it out because I really love this game and want to continue to love this game.
So now I can play without having to worry if I am going to tilt, I just don’t anymore. After years of study I found out that a lot of my tilt was my own fault anyways. When I stopped blaming bad luck, stopped making that as an excuse, I opened my mind to search what I was doing wrong and started finding answers. I started playing better. I learned that loosing is a part of this game. The difference now is I can other players making mistakes that I can take advantage of and the game has become way more fun to play even when I loose. If I loose to a 2 outter now I laugh, say nice hand and move on. They can’t keep killing me every time! Be a Terminator, and get them next time because there is always a next time!
Another thing to help is to realize this is just a game. It’s gambling in all spots even when we are a big favorite in the hand. If you put your stack in just know it can all be gone with the flip of a card or your opponent saying “call” when you are bluffing.
If you are doing this as a hobby and not doing this to make a living then really why are we tilting. It’s a game.

Walk away from the offending table if playing live or turn off the computer if playing online. Not just leaving the site. That's not enough. Make a statement to yourself, you've reached your limit. Turn off the computer completely.

If I get tilted but I haven't been eliminated from the tournament, I get up, walk around for a while, and only after I've calmed down (if I can manage to do that at all) do I sit down and play again. It's a terrible feeling when you run into a bad beat, but unfortunately it's inevitable.
