Hi guys I do have major tilt but its mainly when I lose to bad play e.g when someone calls your 4 bet raise when they only have limped into a pot with 9bb Etc. with 56os v my qq just to see a flop then outdraw me thx a lot keith
I keep my bankroll off line withdrawing at end of each sesh, and depositing prior to each session..depending on the games I intend to play..One of my tilt issues is sometimes not handling losing sessions. I know they are inevitable, but sometimes I spit my dummy out, go to my account withdraw my balance and set my deposit limit to zero for 24 hours, to stop myself being tempted from trying to chase it back. In one way it guards against me blowing money however on the other hand like tonight.. I wanted to play the main & mini event and did'nt have enough in my account to join the mini although I was totally over the previous sesh by then.
So basically what i'm doing to save myself from tilt on the night is affecting my chances the next day, when I an totally over it..
Any thoughts?
This might be a bit confusing to read out..if so I will post it on the well thread.
Very interesting and helful discussions on the show tonight, really enjoying it.
Didn't enjoy going out of the main with my jj all in pre got snapped & outdrawn by jqo!!! it's frekin' rigged I tell ya!! Where are my boots?? & where is that freakin' cat!!! I hate you all!!! I don't get titled by the way.
Interested you mentioned your own tilt taking the form of becoming passive, I find this fits my profile, too passive then i eventually make some crazy move.
What sort of tilte would u call this? i get there anoyed with bad etiquette, and happend in a multiday live torney. he slowroled me on the end when he had the nuts and had seconed nuts. i then proced and donk all my chips of over the next round of hands. this is something i need to work on any advice.
Good evening Mr Orford, Mr Spittles and Mr Carter. Read and enjoyed your first book and still use it like a reference book. I play low stakes tournaments and watch a lot of the bigger tournaments, and i find more low stakes players get abusive in the chatbox, i put this down to the money is more crucial to them or is it that the bigger tournament players understand variance? I would also like to invite you to play in the £2.20 @2.20 deepstack tournament. All the best Rainman397
What do you think of keeping your account at a certain level to avoid tilt?
So if you keep your account at a predetermined level, say £1000, and you withdraw any profit above that level every week, you know you can't tilt as it'd be to detrimental to your bankroll, where as if your account is just accumulating it's a lot easier to just go and blew a few buy in's if you were affected by tilt.

That's what I Do. I just don't trust myself with a large balance. I have a seperate bank account for my poker bankroll but rarely keep a high balance on line.. I spewed more than I would have liked yesterday beacuse I left more that I normally do in my account. I withdrew rest of balance to avoid further damage.

Fairly sure aussie's significant other rarely wakes up to a decent stack
Evening have enjoyed the show. Busted main in 15th, good run but could not win either of my 2 big flips. Never mind! Probably just missed out on my exit hand being on the tv too
This isn't a tilt question but it is mental fish behaviour. When I'm playing a bunch of MTTs, it's not a conscious decision but I often feel like I don't give the same amount of focus and attention to say a £5 MTT as I do to say the £33 main event. Any tips?

did i need to go so big on the turn or could i have stayed weak knowing i'm not likely to get called?"knew he had it"
"why didn't he raise to start with"

Here's a HH from Mastercash...
Should we check/call our entire range on this flop to avoid the awkward spots of having to check/fold most turns?

question:
playing the roller, is it best to have sex before, after ... or during?
..or is the right answer all three?
