I Get Completed Tilted On New Sites

[Justin_Bobby]

Does anyone else get tilted when they play a new site or even one that you havent played in awhile? AM I the only one? I tried CAKE and went on monkey tilt for no reason. Same thing happened when I recently went back to UB after not having played it in about a year.

Why do I tilt when I change sites? Does this happen to any of you?

I switched from FT to Stars and the HU games become horizontal instead of vertical and that sent me over the edge once and I intentionally blew a few buyins after a bad beat or two.

Dunno why I got so angry

Ya this happens. Totally different graphics, sounds, timings between bets/deals, betting styles (slider, bet % of pot buttons), ect... cause additional stimulation and distraction. All this confuses your senses, and makes you think that your opponents are doing different things than you're used to - so you do wacky stuff to combat this.

Just spend a little time on the micro or play money tables until you're a little more used to the site.

Ive played like 400k hands on stars since April.

I tried FT and couldt stand it. I might not be able to play any other site now.

yep, this reason is why I've been on the same site for 3 years

[pricklypete]

nope

yes and no... stars tilts me so bad everytime I tried their software, I just found myself pushing for no reason all the time while on monkey tilt... happens nowhere else...

Yeah, i always think that the rega are trying to "outplay the new guy" which makes me do crazy bluffs and hero calls which are usually go wrong and then obviously ---> tilt.

i really should just play my usual style whenever i play (or even tighter, to adjust to different player) now since i understand it.
