You can work on your brains dude. You can improve on anything if you put your mind into it.

Though this is true, neuroscientists have good reason to believe that emotional control is highly dependent on the development of a specific area of the brain, and that if this area is not stimulated during a critical period in childhood then it will always be underdeveloped. So, for some, it may be much less true than for others.

I disagree, to an extent. I believe that, while getting angry is an emotional issue that OP may or may not ever be able to get a good rein on, OP can train himself not to move up in stakes.

Best advice I can offer is to set a stop-loss, and stay firm with it. Granted, stop-losses and win-stops are not used by most professionals, but using one will give OP a "cheat" as he works on gaining the self control not to move up in stakes.

I personally can't relate, as I very rarely tilt for very long. I had to work on a similar problem though, which was a very bad desire to gamble while drunk.

I've recently began giving my laptop to a trusted friend when I'm going out for the night, and retrieving it in the morning.
