Good evening, friends, I would like to address this subject about "tilt" in poker. Many here should know what it's all about. I'm not even a pro at poker so I'd like to hear from you guys what they're tilting at poker. I'm particularly upset when I lose a big pot with the best hands knowing that my opponent played your hand very bad and ends up taking me out of the tournament that makes me angry after playing several hours and take a packet playing the correct hand sad more and you?
About tilt, I can tell you a lot .... Because I myself come across this state from time to time ..... everything happens because they are pathologically unlucky with cards and even when it seems like you play correctly you still lose ... and then it comes Tilt .... you start playing completely wrong .... makes crazy bets ... and in the end it leads to a big loss .... the best solution when you see Tilt come is to turn off the computer and go for a walk

I play poker for many years now and I just can give you the following advice. I am just a profitable poker player which means over a longer period (a year or so) my bankroll increases. (sometimes not that much…
1. follow a strict bankrollmanagement , for me my bankroll is about 700-1000 euro and I sit mostly at cash-tables with max 10 euro. (I play 4 to 6 tables at the same time). If I get to 15 euro I leave the table and get a new one with 10 euro (this works at unibet) (= put my profit safe and avoid big losses (also no big big wins) Tournaments and SNG mas 5 euro buy-in. My managementlevels are stricter than most you can find but I see it as an extra safety margin and I see poker as a hobby (= enjoy playing and not to loose money)
2. When I face several bad beats in a session and I notice it affects my game, I quit and start a game of Catan (and do not play poker anymore that day) My experience is that if you stay at the tables you end up loosing more money … so better leave the tables ( for me if I loose more than 50 euro in a session (loose my buy-in at 5 tables) it s time to stop playing)
This is the way I keep on playing for several years without ever deposited own money, I started with some ND-bonusses and some freerolls and learned it that way. In my first year I was already at +/- 500 dollars at fulltilt (started with a ND-bonus of 50 dollar) and thought I was a poker champ lol .. had some losses, did not go lower in buy-in and got punished and ended up at zero.
So my advice decide what s you want … play recreational without loosing money (winning is an extra)
wanne get semi-pro or pro … keep in mind that you will have to spent a lot of time playing poker, lot of study, game analysing,etc

Well in regards to tilt it happens to everyone eventually I know it has happen to me on so much different occasions and how you deal with it makes all the difference. The best advice I can give is if your experiencing tilt it's best to walk away from the tables and take a break from playing be it for a few hours or a day and do another activity such as watch tv, a movie, listen to some music and come back to playing poker when you are mentally focused and ready. When on tilt I find from my experience you make poorer decisions and let emotions take over and that is never good with poker. Hope this helps and good luck at the tables

200 Units: ~40% Risk of Ruin. That means that 4/10 card counters who play this way will be kissing their bankroll goodbye. The other 6/10 card counters will hit some positive variance and never look back. I wouldn’t recommend playing at this level of risk for long. But if you decide you can handle those odds and don’t have another option, then may the cards fall in your favor.
I had been playing with less than 200 units (only $700 or less at a $5 minimum live dealer Blackjack table), so I guess I had been really lucky until a few days ago. From this point forward, I will play with at least 2,000 betting units to sustain nasty variance.
