Beginner here on tilt now. How do you stop it?

How do you handle Tilt? Im on tilt because i spent points got the password, went to register prior to tourney start and the password screen would not pop up i tried and tried in the short 3 minutes you have to register before the start of tourney but then had to watch it start with out me so now im on tilt and cant even spend my time playing in another game because im on tilt over this crap. So question here is how do you combat being on Tilt?

I had just a few hours to play today and now i can't because im on tilt over the stupid freeroll on bovada!

You can request a refund.
If you are on tilt then don't play. Take a walk, exercise, do something else. If you have a huge sense of urgency to play then you are probably going to lose your chips.
If you truly can't handle tilt then poker might not be for you.

Go play fun steps on merge.

+1

what is this tilt thing you speak of?

if not getting into a freeroll causes you to tilt i don't think poker is for you, lol.

This same thing has happened to me a dozen times back when I played on Cake.
The solution was pretty simple. I would ask for a refund and I would have a bankroll
available on several poker sites. Eventually I did end up leaving the forum for a little over
a year due to the frustration. But Cake went away for me a U.S. player. I have found other
tourneys on this forum to enter and being unable to register for a tourney happens to me much less frequently.

When you're on tilt, it's always good to spend time away from the game, regroup and get back on track.

smoke a jont and you will be cool :cool:

Yes.. refund... hmm interesting

happens but will usuallyget refund....no reasonto tilt.

go into chat and blast away for few minutes unti u realize you are talking to human beings. then well guess poker is over for the day. unless its still early in the day, or play wild and see if that helps.

missing a tourney put you on tilt??????????????????? Really?????????????????

The biggest thing keeping me from being a solid winner for the first year I played was my monster tilt problem. If you have trouble learning I recommend the book "The Psychology of Poker" by Jared Tendler. It's a solid book on tilt management. If anyone says he doesn't tilt he is either a cyborg or he is lieing. Everyone tilts, it's just a matter of how long, how bad, and how often. It is a trait that comes with time, explaining why many players are losers for years than become solid winners as they mature psychologically.

Discipline can be taught, but it's also about understanding yourself - you can BS and say "oh it was bad luck" but you can't lie to yourself when you know deep down you were monkeyshit tilting. Find out what triggers make you tilt, and spot them and learn to stop playing if you can't control it. The spiraling downward affect is really bad for your bankroll.

very interesting. yeah could get frustrating. but like they said never good to play even on tilt. been there done that and lost a bunch. hard not to play but its better in long run. like somebody said play fun steps on carbon so wont matter

and yes refunds do work. happen to me few times. good luck to u

its get easier and better once u get hang of site

there nothing like what your thinking...

Go break some stuff. LOL. No need to get mad. I am new here and i think i read somewhere that you need to give at least 5 minutes before tourneys to get the coupon process through. Either way it also said that you can get your points back. Everytime I tilt I walk away from computer maybee through my mouse. Quit playing smoke a cig. Get a drink and go back at it. Its worked for me so far.

Play a freeroll tourney and it doesn't matter if you play it badly...sounds weird but here is the rationale. If you lose it's no big deal. You may get tired of it and you can vent by playing everything and anything. What you will find out is the best hand preflop doesn't always win and people who don't have business in hands sometimes win. I've played against some of these people and they don't care. They are there to irritate and blow off steam because it is free.
