Aok- thanks for sharing this. this topic is usually discussed in bits and pieces, but its nice to have some good fully laid out thoughts and strategies for it. I have played over a year now and this is one thing I really didnt focus enough on improving.

And it's important not to generalize tilting to being a bad player in general, eg yakuman's posts. I have won since I started over a year ago, with big thanks to posters like Aok and others in this website, but no doubt still experience tilt and have not worked on it as much as other equally important skills like folding marginals, reads, adapting, aggression, etc.
