0--- Keep losing ----Ooo --- Read ----

Ok, ive recorded my stats for over a year and im not a losing player but i do have a very big problem.

i tilt very easy and i need help controling it.


I've lost close to 11000 total in the past mounths by going into my regular 5/10 game or w/e and then tilting and going into 30/60


i didnt know where else to post this but from my 15k br im lm left with 3500

please explain to me how to avoid tilt and not go into these games please any advice im desparate im still sooo tilty right now just lost 900 from brutal bad beats

keep a cucumber nearby. Next time you sit down at stakes youre not rolled for and the post blind option comes up, shove the cucumber up your ass. you wont want to play anymore.

lol thanks for the advice its too bad no site has a exclusion button for certian limits

but any other suggestions beside the cucumber

I personally don't think 15k is even enough for playing 5/10. I've had two 20k downswings and a 15k downswing in 2008 so far. A lot of it is variance, and a lot of it is bad play, but still.. I've had 3 downswings bigger than your roll playing the same limits.

Bankroll management! Though I guess that's dumb advice given that you're trying to get us to tell you how to stop playing 30/60, let alone 5/10.

I don't think there is really any way anyone can say anything to tell you not to tilt. All that anyone can say is that if you want to be a winning player you have to have discipline. Discipline to stop when you're not playing optimally. Discipline to have good bankroll management, even if it means grinding it out for a while.

When you start to tilt, just stop! I know it's easier said that done... but it's all part of discipline.

The larger point is that you don't have the required skills to be a winner at the stakes you want to play. Move down to something like 1/2 and build them up. I learned bankroll management, game selection, and tilt issues (the three most important outside factors in poker) through hundreds of thousands of hands. I just don't think you're ready

Agree 100% with Deanglow, but regarding your tilt problem you just have to first acknowledge it like you have but I'd just try committing to purposes rather than goals. You should focus on quitting as soon as you sense any sort of tilt, and trying to stay ccc.

Thanks for the advice i think ima just stick to $26 tournys max with my last 1k considering thats how i built my roll usually in past

I think im a better tourny player anyway my ROI according to OPR is over 100 percent

Btw i play on the name Eye spy lies

I think the cucumber idea was spot on. That and you should not be playing 5/10

Discipline.

It all comes from Pride

100% of all discipline situations are all because you have too much pride to make a mistake as big as that. You should consider that situation a personal affront to your very being.

As long as you consider moving up when you're tilting a matter of destroying your pride... you should come away scott clean.

im gonna lock this when it stops being funny or another mod thinks it stops being funny

We will think you are a losing bad player until you post stats.

You still have a 5/10 buy in left. Don't give up now imo.
