i have a Short temper, and i don't know how to control it, one bad thing happens to me like i loose on the river and i loose my cool.

I mean by this i try to get my chips back fast by rasie big instead of slow playing people when i have a good hand.

Also i get down on my self and beat my self up inside for it.

does any one of have the same problem?how i currenlty deal with it is i just push in and leave, as some people might have seen me doing. when i having being pusing with stupid cards like 7h,3d.

Please help me

Crikey Moses, it's not hard :)


Here's a tip, remember it's not actual money you're betting with. Suddenly, the world is a brighter place eh?

Sounds like a classic case of Tiltitis.

The only known cures are dealing out a bad beat to some-one else therefore potentially transferring the ailment, or the more reliable cure is time. Sit out for a little while (if the tournament allows) or just play ultra tight for the next few hands.

Though if you have been consuming Red Bull all night I am afraid the condition may be terminal (to your tournament ofcourse)

its called going on tilt when u just try to win ur money back as quickly as possible and end up losing all the chips in front of you

its no limit holdem, if u cant handle the punches, dont play

what i do is get up off my seat and walk around for a minute or so and remind myself "thats poker" and that its not my real money
