Default Re: Online Tilt - The Silent Killer

Everybody tilts and I mean everybody. However, there are varying degrees.

Your problem is when you tilt you are steaming. You will always be a losing player unless you can control it. Easy to say and hard to do if that is in your personality.

I have found that the more experienced you are the better you can control it. You have seen it, done it, repeated it over and over again. You know the beats will happen and can see the bigger picture.

Won't work for everybody but something that really helped me was when I decided I would not write dumb comments after a bad beat. It really calmed me down.

I am a fairly level headed realist and never really steam but I do know when I am tilting because I start to play looser. When I realise it is happening I tend to make out I am instructing someone on the playing of the cards. This helps me refocus and continue to play my normal game.

It is hard but good luck.
