Details or Sample:
EXCERPT ONE:

Almost every poker player has, at one point or another, gone on tilt. Losing a hand that was nearly unbeatable can make you steam. So can watching an inexperienced player shove all in with garbage, only to suck out on the turn or river. And let’s not even try to talk about how much it hurts to bubble out in a big tournament.

Letting your emotions take control of your game leads to bad decisions. That might not hurt your bankroll much in the short term, but going on tilt too many times, or staying on tilt for too long, will deplete your cash faster than you can put it back. And, to be honest, not many of us really enjoy listening to people who are tilting. Pros who sit and whine for the next five or six hands about how much that bad beat hurt them aren’t impressive.

EXCERPT TWO:

When you notice that you’re tilting, you should immediately do something to take control of the situation. Here are a few tips that will help you preserve your bankroll and your table image. These apply whether you’re playing a live game (casino or at home) or on the Internet.

• Breathe deeply a few times and think about the situation. Tell yourself that, even though you just took a hit, you’re still fine. Put yourself in the present: this is a new hand, so what just happened has no bearing on the outcome.

EXCERPT THREE:

If you’re tilting because you’ve taken several bad beats or hard hits, you might want to collect your chips and find another table. This is easy to do in cash game at casinos and card rooms: just pick up your stack, bid everybody at the table good-bye, and look for a better place to play. If you’re playing a home game with your friends, they’ll probably understand if you tell them that you need to sit out for a few hands.

Many players have “tilt triggers.” Certain situations will put them on tilt even before they start playing the game. You should learn your triggers and avoid them as much as possible. That way, you won’t doom yourself to failure before the first orbit.
