I tilt because...

I think I shouldn't have to try to crush retards.

... I suck at poker and make bad decisions.

I feel entitled.

So strange to me. Must be a levels thing. I don't tilt when I lose a pot and I know I got it in right. Maybe sometimes when I'm just getting crushed everytime but really my tilt comes from when I know I got it in bad or did some other nonsensical shit. Iunno, it's interesting.

If I think about it, is there anything else.

...I dropped down in stakes to gain some confidence and proceded to lose 5 BIs in 200 hands.

The entitlement thing again.

after thinking about it..mine are entitlement issues too..i still sometimes think 'i lost a hand therefore i am terrible'..then spend the next hours proving it...instead of realizing losing 1 hand is nothing..regardless of whether i made the right play

This enters my mind repeatedly each day. Every time I am frustrated over anything, it's because I was feeling entitled.

It's hard to maintain a zen-like reverence for the unexpected in a world of plans and schedules.

How did I play before I felt entitled?

I believe I played too tight and bet like I didn't have balls.

....cause I'm a noob and need to practice ranging more.

this mostly

... I'm always so confused.

People make shit plays and somehow it pays off for them.

... I make really dumb mistakes, which burn off all my hard earned winnings. I call it the Matusow tilt.

This is the gold mine of poker. Don't let this tilt you, let this make you giddy with joy.
If the bad players didn't win sometimes, then they would KNOW that they're bad players, and they'd stop playing. The fact that they can be so bad, yet still win some pots, is what keeps them thinking that they're not so bad after all. This is the glory of poker; the fish keep coming back. You'd never see this in a game like chess or darts, where the outcome is basically predetermined by player skill.

I have never looked at it like that. I spend so long running that same pkay over in my head and fuming at how 'lucky' they got that I usually end.up losing much more.

Really appreciate that post. Thank you

Because mommy told me I'm speciL

We all get tilted some how,some of us get it that bad that we have to replace our monitor or keyboard every year.For the rest of us it's more of a monthly thing,lol.

.... I don't take a break when things ain't running right

I fail to stop myself. I've never run into a situation where, upon looking back later, I could even come close to justifying the tilt that I allowed to happen due to my insufficient self-discipline in the moment.

It's actually quite uncanny how I feel the same as OP. The slow grind back to respectable is painstakingly slow and every little suckout is amplified by the fact that the stakes mean fuck all.

More aggressive br management. If you can afford a couple buyins of 4nl and can redeposit if shit goes bad then there really isn't any reason not to move up with like 10 buys. You should be rocketing through the micros imo.

Only one thing really tilts me regularly. 1hr+ into a session I lose all I've won. Instant tilt for 15 mins until I finally take a break.

... I suck more than I should because I'm lazy.

1) The harder I try the worse I seems to do
2) With the players as bad as they are, my results don't reflect success
3) I rarely win multiple BI's in a session or even win large pots for that matter but i can lose large pots and lose multiple BI's in a session, makes it hard to claw back after a big loss.
4) i run my big PP's into sets or my sets into flushes/straights

Cos motherfuckers keep treebetting me....assholes.
Cos I only get rags in the blinds.
Cos when we showdown and I loose to a hand I prolly coulda barrelled off i realise my assigning of a reasonable range didn't fucking happen.
Cos I missed an obvious value bet

Cos I think everyone sucks but they keep beating me WTF.
Cos I'm drunk too fucking often.

haha ya that

When I care. Care about my results, about how much money I've won or lost and when I think a reg is owning me.

But you made a lot of eevees! Those are practically dollars!

Because building a roll is like building a house of cards.

most of my tilt comes from fucking up a hand. or not being good enough to determine in-game whether i fucked a hand up or not (that i lost). these are almost always bluffs.
