the most common cause of tilt is when you lose a big pot to a bad beat. We all know the feeling: you get it in with the best hand, and the miracle card hits on the river to whisk the pot away from you. It's gut wrenching, and can really screw with your head, especially if you experience a few bad beats in the same session. The thing you have to understand is that it happens to everyone, and you've surely laid out your own share of bad beats during your poker career.

Yeah thanks for the update bead beat is the worst enemy you can have because one bad beat can be easy to cope with but if you get several bad beats in a row you can go ballistic and lose all your money this way so be careful when you got hit by a bad beat. Also have a stop loss and follow it and you can be on your way to making lots of money. Anyway cheers good luck mate at the tables and hope you succeed in poker. Cheers peace out mate!

Why? You think this is the first copy paste here, or the last? There are a few doing this, not to mention a couple of well known BRM members. It has been discussed in the past, but nothing came out of it.

If you can manage your tilt, i think you are well on your way to becoming a very good player. Everybody gets bad beats but its how you react to these that makes the difference. I tend to just take a break for a while
