6 tips to beat tilt
Your mind is the biggest weapon at the poker tables. But sometimes emotions can take over during the game and cause you to tilt, play badly and end up losing your money.
The best way to stop tilting is to understand why bad beats happen, learn to laugh them off, and move on.
Today we will introduce you to six rules that will help you overcome tilt at its very roots:
1️⃣ Congratulate your opponent. One more thing you can do after a bad beat is congratulating your opponent on a great terrible game. The mistake that most people make is that they say it sarcastically or passive-aggressively.
The next time a fish calls you with a low pair and gets Trips on the river, just congratulate him by discarding the negativity. Thanks to such players, you will benefit.
2️⃣ Leaving is okay. An important lesson to learn in order to stop tilting is to learn how to exit the game at the right time.
There will be days in poker when there is absolutely nothing you can do to win. You will lose every pot, miss any Draws and get Coolers over and over again (KK to AA or a flush against a high flush)
It makes no sense to keep banging your head against the wall‼️
3️⃣ Bad beat analytics. They happen from time to time (it is especially painful to get a badbeat in the final or pre-final of a major MTT). On such days, we recommend reminding yourself of mathematics, which will be on your side.
If you input even offsuit 72 against AA into the calculator, it turns out that they have 10% when exposed at preflop. And every time this happens to you, just explain to yourself that this is normal. One time out of ten, according to the theory of probability, you will lose with aces to a random trash hand - perhaps this was the case now
4️⃣ Fitness and healthy lifestyle. The gym is the place where tilt disappears. Everyone understands the enormous mental benefits of regular exercise and strength training. It reduces stress levels, allows you to sleep better, and makes you feel more confident.
Physical activity increases the production of endorphins, neurotransmitters that enhance feelings of pleasure and well-being. They are also called hormones of happiness. The release of endorphins during sports makes you feel the "euphoria of the runner" ("runner’s high"), but any aerobic exercise can cause this feeling - playing tennis or walking in the park.
5️⃣ Small breaks. After a particularly bad hand, it's best to take a short break of 5 or 10 minutes to collect yourself, rest, and analyze a few played games in your head.
You can go out for a walk with the dog, get some fresh air, clean the snow in the yard - all this not only switches you to another activity, but also makes the brain relax a bit.
6️⃣ Learn to laugh. This anti-tilt technique is perhaps the most important of all. We need to learn to laugh off this stupid game more often. Throughout your poker career, you will get a lot of bad beats and nasty river cards. This means that you need to find a simpler approach to the game, otherwise it will become an extremely frustrating experience.
