Re: Staying off tilt
so far the best strategies I have found for myself are:
1. STAY IN YOUR BANKROLL
There is a huge amount of stress, that you might not even notice, when each decision is so important. Stress causes the body to shutdown a lot of resource hogging functions, including your ability to use logic. Of course the only way to learn this lesson is the hard way...usually a few times
2. Don't play when your tired
Again, you're logical mind will be functioning at less than capacity, and you will also have less control of your emotions. This also means getting a lot of excersize, so you won't be tired, although you're a marine so you're probably in shape.
3. Don't play hungry
Same thing as above, without nutrition (think running without anything in the stomach) you're functioning at less than optimum.
4. Learn to play well -- I'd suggest cardrunners or pokerxfactor. If you're not good, you're going to go on tilt when you make newbish mistakes. No cure for that except learning to play.
