Posted by thefodz: One more question! After you lose everything in a table, do you rebuy and continue to play on the same table, or do you leave and find somewhere different to play?
Immediate full buy-in, now I got a guy that thinks im bad and perhaps he's playing a bit more loose because he just won and doubled his stack. Off course sometimes it's best to find another table due to solid/dry players but at the stakes im playing it rarely happens

Great perception. Many times I recover what I lost exactly because of what you just said. Some people think that the bad beat somehow was not a bad beat and that you are not a good player, so that happening, it becomes very easy to get the money back. Of course not all the time, but most of the time it is a reality.

Hehe im glad we agree I find it very profitable. Sometimes I think it can be profitable to lose some pot's of course its never funny to lose a full BI but lose some small pot's fx call some cheap bad draw's like inside str8 or overcards with backdoor flush and just fold if nothing interesting comes. Some of the players will quickly decide that im a fish playing loose passive and im the opposit which often turn into for me

You got it! I do this in live games, of course after going to the same places, people become more familiar with you, but I definately do it any chance I get. The times when I win the most amount of money by doing this is when I pretend to be angry after losing an obvious hand, then I get AA or KK and move all in, (of course against someone I know is thinking that I am on tilt) and then, BOOM, it´s over. The best thing is that the person continues to think that I lucked out so then I win another big chunk!

I just love it....sometimes you allmost feel like you found your own moneybank, just sitting there waiting for you to empty it and when you do the dude swears at you even though you had him all the time and he played bad. He re-buys and plays even worse People continue to amaze me with weird things at pokertables
i was playing at a pot limit omaha table with a max buy in of 25 bux, i once saw this one player dump his whole stack and rebuy nearly every 3rd hand. that was great for everyone at the table and i also profited from it. you could tell he was on serious tilt. and was trying to beat the whole table everyhand

How about you SCDossett, how do you cool down after a badbeat? Do you shout, punch something, go for a walk, take a shower, or just tilt your money away?

One bit of advice i always try to stick to when i've been on the wrong end of a bad beat is to fold the next hand regardless of what i'm holding ( KK AA excepted). Fold Fold Fold. It gives you time to get things into perspective. How many times have you seen someone whos lost a big hand go all in next hand ? Dumb. If i've suffered a series of defeats and lost a bit of dough, then you should walk away. Give it a rest. But if you can't bear to be away from poker, then take your frustration out on freerolls. You can tilt as much as you like on those and get it out of your system.

This is my trick. when I get a bad beat I go to the freemoney table. I go crazy for a good 10 mins after a while you start to feel like Hey this is stupid. then I am able to go back to playing real poker. Works great for me..
Let me leave you with this little bit here..

Very nice idea you 2 had, Tony and Catlady; go play the money tables to blow off steem! This is actually a fantastic idea. I hope it´ll work for me, but only sometimes though, I don´t want to lose the habit of the punching bag!

dont try that last one while playing poker though, catlady The tip about the playmoney table really is a good one! I don't really go on tilt because of bad beats, i go on tilt more often when i keep getting bad pockets. The other day i kept getting cards like 2-7, 4-9, j-2 in a sng. I can be very patient, but not always and the only thing i can do to keep my patience is chatting. It's easier for me to fold when i chat a little so i dont have the feeling i should just go all in on nothing and get knocked out so i can leave. So that's what i normally do when i'm playing a sng or mtt: find someone to chat with a little and then i'm fine.

Posted by thefodz: So, many of us have strategies to avoid those deadly tilting rampages, and others don't, they simply lose all their bankroll due to a childish tilt!
Please share with us YOUR anti-tilting strategy!
Mine was simple, as mentioned before, I put up a punching bag, so everytime I lose to a bad beat, I simply run over to the punching bag and let it rip! It works out great, because after I get the anger out of my system, I can go back to playing like nothing happened.
after a bad beat i always only say: that's poker, and then quiet f**k ^^ no more tilting here!
