How to recognize the tilt
If you start to play a gamble - it's tilt.
Usually occurs after a tilt-series of bad beats or during prolonged daunstrika.
The first sign of tilt - the desire to win.
As soon as you began to think not about how to win and how to bring back your loss, you know - you are able to tilt.
You can make anything - change for the other tables, sink to the lower limits, but the obsession back losing money will inevitably require you to enter the game with a weak hand, bluff more often than necessary, and as a result, your game will become even more worse.
If your table is a player who plays stupid, but he was lucky, and even more so if the "donk" accidentally beat you personally, you begin to hate the quiet of the opponent.
Remember: if you start to experience any negative feelings or personal dislike for the other contestants that even you can not eat, then - you're on tilt.
In such cases, the payoff in the long run leaves you in the background.
You need arises today, and now this beat Fish with horns, which he does not have, but which will certainly be with him, because he's an ass.
At this time, you forget about the profits in the long run, start playing recklessly and unnecessarily aggressive.
The result - a loss.
Tilt can occur not only due to failures, but also because of the great luck.
You often win a lot, and you can not help thinking there is - well, then, finally, I started to play well, now I'm the star of poker.
All stub out and shine.
In principle, the harm from such a thought is not, the ego grows and grows stronger day by day.
Damage occurs when the "Star Poker" begins to believe that it is now all you can - they say if the rays come from me, I can bluff against many opponents, or play the 22 in early position.
Here then start losing.
Victory is replaced by the usual negative tilt tilt.
The player is disappointed in himself, in poker, and goes out of the first magnitude star into a black hole, moving in rybeshkinu Creek.
The process of restoring psychological balance in such cases will be much more difficult.
Prevention of tilt
Always think about the future.
Do only those actions that can generate profits in the long run.
Always remember that the profit in poker - the difference between the lost and win the pot.
Bad beats are an integral part of poker.
For every bad beat has won several banks, which will be compensated for the loss of a bad bit.
Use stop-loss (Stop-Loss).
Pre-schedule a bag of money, you lost, you stop playing now.
If you play no-limit Texas Hold'em, this amount should be located in the vicinity of 3.5 stacks.
If you're at the beginning of the game won the session, the stop-loss is not added to your winnings.
That is, if you've won six stacks, you do not have to add six stacks of stop-loss and stop playing, as outlined - at a loss of three stacks.
Not only do you save yourself from the tilt, but finished the game session "in the pros."
And the last one.

All the same, earnings from this game will not.
And God forbid you to play drunk.
Poker - a game sober minds.
