Sex, or at least a good BJ.

I put a post-it on my monitor that says "Stop. Think."

Heh, I did that once. Lasted about 3 days before I had to replace not only the post-it but the monitor as well.

Well it goes on the plastic frame.

Just think to yourself that the other guy is a huge donk that got lucky and that in the long run you will win. If villan shows a really donkish starting hand like 97o vs your AQ raised pf and board comes 9A9x7 Tell them how much they suck and leave the table.

seriously though if you lose a real huge pot just take a couple hours off. usually works for me

Breathe. Taking a few deep breaths helps me tons.

I feel like I am pretty prone to tilt, something I definitely have to work on. Whenever I lose a big pot that has a reasonable chance of tilting me, or I make a really bad play that makes me tilt myself, I just close out the games. I dont mean finishing my rounds, I literally close out full tilt, mid hand or not. Obviously if Im involved in another big hand I dont do this til after that had completes but you get the idea. I then take about 20 mins off, watch some sports center, post on here, whatever. Then I go back, if I feel like Im still tilting, I take another 20 until Im ready. I rather take 4 hours of down time before I start playing again than rush back into it and give away 8 buy ins like an ass.

LOL, thinking that the guy is a huge donk and in the "long run" I will win would put me on full blown tilt. I usually find something sturdy that I know I can't break and then just pound my fist into it a few times.. To each his/her own eh... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Only one thing works for me. Stop playing. Or, play a different game like PLO, limit, SNG, etc.

play limit to get off tilt?

[/ QUOTE ]Heh, yeah. It's pretty standard for big hands to lose so it doesn't bother me. Most people seem to be opposite.
