Re: Staying off tilt
Most players I see have two games. The game they play when they are winning or have won, and the game they play when they've been losing or have lost. In reality, your game should be based on table conditions and opponant rather then you've been running bad/good.
Tilt is synonomous with losing -- but if you step back and think you'll realize that people on tilt can also be winning and even winning huge. The tilt doesn't matter because the deck is hitting them.
So, with that in mind and you want to stay off tilt, make your game consistent, but not to the point of being predictable. If you wouldn't play a hand a certain way when you are winning, don't play it that way when you are losing and vice versa. You have to believe and have faith that each hand you play and how you play it against a given set of table conditions has profitability in the long run, until you find out or discover otherwise, then of course adapt.
Once you lose heart or faith in a given session, quit play and come back when you can play more confidently.
