i used to keep tv on. but yeah music has been a good choice

Find a bad regular and berate him in chat.
Go play 01/02 and shove repeatedly until you suck out on something premium.
Just quit. Go exercise, jog a mile, play basketball.

Just do something.

I think a lot of tilt has to do with the mindset that you bring to the table. I used to go on serious monkey tilt any time i lost a pot with more than 80% equity. Until one day i just said to myself "hey, it happens." When I finally took that mindset, it affected every part of my life.

Black Crows, or Dave always seems to help keep the tilt monkey away. I used to do the TV thing to but it was to distracting, now I keep on XM Radio or Music.com...

I put a post-it on my monitor that says "Stop. Think."

I find that the worst problem with tilt is making snap gut decisions like, "He's bluffing!"

If I just stop. and think. I can save myself some money.

If I lived with you, I'd put "Ing." after it just for fun.

Heh, I did that once. Lasted about 3 days before I had to replace not only the post-it but the monitor as well.

Sex, or at least a good BJ.

Just think to yourself that the other guy is a huge donk that got lucky and that in the long run you will win. If villan shows a really donkish starting hand like 97o vs your AQ raised pf and board comes 9A9x7 Tell them how much they suck and leave the table.

seriously though if you lose a real huge pot just take a couple hours off. usually works for me
