New way to NEVER get tilted and learn at same time!
I have used a new technique to help prevent any negative emotions while playing poker. I consider my mental game the best part of my game. I have studied mental toughness extensively and it has helped me to literally never tilt. I consider this part of my game the strongest, and gives me confidence that I am the most even keeled player at the table.
I still have negative emotions like everyone during a downswing or bad run. I think I solved a way to never feel any negative emotions, even while being sucked out on. I am now trying to calculate the exact percents of me being sucked out on. So when I get a bad beat I tell myself. I was a 75-25 fav/ 3-1 fav in that spot. So I learn all the odds in every situation along the way of getting sucked out on. Once I learn all the odds, then I can be pissed again at being sucked out on!!
What do you guys do to prevent any negative emotions while on a downswing or running bad?

I go crush souls on xbox for awhile. Just winning at something makes me feel a lot better.
By no way it is a new technique. Nor effective for the most.
To each his own, works for me.
Yea I agree with you; I learnt that technique from a poker book - what the author said was that bad beats should be invited because it means that your opponents are making bad choices throwing good money after bad, and that as long as you're making good decisions on the table you have nothing to be angry about. One of the other dimensions of tilting that I had overlooked which was presented by Phil Gordon is the 'Entitlement Tilt' which means that sometimes we tilt because we think we just got beaten by a lucky fish. I realized that this was the most common kind of tilt (In my own experience anyways) and just tried my best to never underestimate my opponents and stay humble no matter what, because your attitude determines your altitude at the end of the day
have a wank. tilt gone.
