Seeing as you tilted away your whole roll you might want to attend GA.

If I ever went I'd probably bet that I could continuously attend the meetings for 3 months. The sad part is I'd probably lose too.

Just what everyone else is saying, but just take a break, play some pool (don't gamble obviously). If you have a girl or wife, spend time with her. Whenever I go on a downswing, I spend alot of time with my girl, and she takes my mind off it, makes me feel confident. Then I get back to the tables with confidence. Just get your mind off of it.

...Years ago I was a veteran of 'taking shots'. God it was fun, and miraculously I did make money. Nowadays I have a job and the poker money doesn't really matter anymore, I don't stress and stick to my limits and roll. ....

Isn't having a job and 'poker money doesn't matter' PRECISELY the situation in which you SHOULD take shots?

Never chase money.

this is such sage advice and so hard to follow. it seems that the cycle of losing session(s) -> impatient play -> tilt can only be broken by forthright mental recognition that you're chasing losses, making the situation worse in the process, and need to just stand up and stop. taking a break is key like others said.

Next time you feel like playing like a moron go play the lowest stakes and raise and reraise every hand till you lose $100 bucks. Trust me that will take a while and it will cure all the tilt wants. I do this at least once a week. It is so therapeutic to me. The best part is when the fish start calling me a moran and tell me I will never make money at this game, lol. GL.

i wish i had read this post last night (before i tilted off an extra 30BB while stuck.) this sounds like a WONDERFUL way to deal with both impatience and tilt and have some fun in the process. i will be putting a post-it by my monitors that says "Tilt? Go be a donk" Thank you
