Did someone mention my name ??


Yeah I handle it ok these days, but I have a most likely more hands under my belt than most here, also I've been gambling in order to pay the rent for almost a year.


Poker isn't that hard, most here are technically surperior to the average player, yet many struggle to produce results.

The way I see it, the two most common types of tilt are these:

1. Having to prove yourself, I am better than those monkeys ... resulting in pushing too hard, FPS and generel spewing.

2. The 'It's no use, life is unfair' Tilt ... losing all confidence and thus making wierd calls, being weaktight and often at the same time pushing too hard in the wrong spots.

I am very prone to the latter, but not really to the former.


Realising that you are starting to tilt and stepping away from the screen is a good thing!

Finally there is also a different kind of 'tilt', playing when not in the mood for playing or too tired, but having a feeling that you are missing out on profit and thus playing a readless auto C-game.


Those are all real dangers and they happen to us all, I stuggle with the c-game tilt everyday ... and the 'It's no use' tilt used to be a frequent guest, but I luckily haven't seen it for quite a while, but on the other hand I've been running [censored] hot since returning to poker a month ago.


But getting mad at suckouts is just soo dumb and really makes no sense ... you played the hand perfect, what more can you ask ????

Also the money, noone here is living of poker, so you don't need it. It isn't real until you cash out. Like tournament chips ... something you throw around until the end of the month, where you find out if you finished ITM. Until then ... it is nothing, just practice good bankroll management, so you wont go busto and that is all there is to it. If you have skill it will show over a large sample, and if it doesn't show, then work on your leaks instead of tilting and complaining.



But yeah, the day I reported my 2200$ loss in the microbrew, just below my thread there where posted a couple of 10NL bad beat "die in a grease fire" posts.
