My Tilt Control ;)

In reply to an anomonous comment on my last post, i start low, i get unlucky and bored and want to up the stakes so i play too high for my bankroll.

Here is the best solution i can come up with, the next passage will be read anytime i feel myself goin on tilt, its to help maintain good play and to prevent tilt =) i try my best


As a game of both luck and skill, poker can offer limitless moneymaking opportunities, but can also be a rollercoaster ride ride of ups and downs that pushes your abilities and nerves to their limits.
Poker is an alluring mixture of luck and skill that makes for an exciting experience. whether you are playing or just watching. The really great thing about it compared to say, chess snooker, or even football is that for limited periods, anyone can win. We see newcomers beating pro's or triumphing a big tournement and walking away with huge prizes.
But, if you've played poker for any lenght of time, then you'll be aware that the downside is that you can get extremely unlucky for seemingly extraordinary periods of time, perhaps week or even months, and you will never really reach an even keel, as the swings go back and forth continuously.
Whatever level of involvement in poker you decide upon-from weekly home game, to full-time-pro, your nerves and abilities are going to be tested, and perhaps pushed beyond their limits at various points in your playing career when things go badly. Of course, if things go better thean average then your main problem might be an inflated ego and estimation of your abilities, which can also be a problem as things start to even out!

No player is immune from goin on 'tilt', its the better players/ more successful players that learn to handle it better than others and lose the minimum.

This is going to help me, and i hope you too =)
