Bye-bye tilt!

So usually if I'm having a not so great poker day it normally can be put down to "ahhhh, I haven't had chocolate!" (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it), and after I have my sugar buzz I chill out, play poker again and start winning :)
Well today I got the Poker Player magazine and in it there is a little bit about super foods to help with tilt and hey presto wouldn't you know it listed is chocolate!!!
I should probably mention that flaxseeds and blueberries are also listed as an anti-tilt super food but I choose the chocolate option even though less healthy.
I figure even if I put on 20 stone i will be playing so well that when I make my millions I can afford liposuction and a personal trainer anyway :)
So everyone....if you want an excuse to eat chocolate and make money here it is!

    I have found vodka the best way to stop me tilting, and I also play better on it!

    I hate to put a dampner on this thread, but the magazine actually stated that chocolate contains flavanols which increase blood flow to the brain.  It said nothing about un-tilting (would that be the right term?) you.  However, chocoate is thought to be an aphrodisiac. Eating chocolate makes you feel good and the serotonin that is released into the blood stream resembles a feeling of love, satiation and happiness.  I'm getting more use out of my A-level in psychology by the day.

    Yes but it also releases endoprhins into the brain which in turn leads to a decrease of stress. It's just wonderful for everything.

    It also steals calcium from your bones.  I saw an episode of Monk once where this guy poisoned a load of chocolate bars as well.  It can kill you.

    Rock n roll man. Respect to you.
    Drinking always seems to improve my game. I drank a bottle of vodka once on top of a bottle of red wine whilst playing. I couldn't see the screen properly at the end. The next day I checked out my results on poker-edge and everything was good and profitable.
    I was too mashed up to get off the tables properly so had to time out. Had to drop down to 6 tables too. That helped a lot.
    Anyway chocolate is bad for you and long-term consumption can lead to diabetes, morbid obesity and depression.

    DARK CHOCOLATE - Is much better for you.

    It lowers blood pressure
    It lowers cholesterol
    It is good for the heart
    It contains serotonin which is an anti-depressant

    One bar of dark chocolate has around 400 calories. So if you eat half a bar of dark chocolate a day, try to balance those 200 calories by eating less of something else.

    Like most things that are considered bad for you, they are only bad for you if you over indulge. Some things can be quiet benificial when taken in moderation.
