| Getting escorted out by security a couple of times will make you control yourself more successfully in the future (assuming you still have a place to play) | ||

| They'll either be paralyzed with fear when you sit down ("I can't raise, the lunatic might go off again!") or call all of your raises.... Now that I think of it, does this reveal the source of Mike Caro's power? It would explain the old wild hair image..... | ||

| Take the stress out of playing. Play within your bankroll...Do stress reducing exercises.....take walks when under pressure....do a self talk to yourself that keeps you calm and off tilt. Roy Cooke on 24. Apr 2003 02:45 jake-free wrote: > how can I train my self to minimize tilting? | ||

| One, minimalize conditions that will cause tilt: Playing tired, sick, angry, etc Second, recognize when you ARE starting to tilt, back off for a little while to cool down, realize that the beats and craziness are what make the game profitable long-term Third, realize that YOUR play will cost your MUCH more money than anyone else's every will. THAT should sober you up quickly. (though I think the fork in the hand thing is much easier....) | ||

| Try the same ideas that chess players use to stay objective: center yourself and look at the play mechanically, THEN add the player characteristics to make you move. In chess, like in poker, subjective actions not in tune with the position (cards on the table) and the person you are playing will quickly lead you to an inferior position (stack lower) and ultimately a loss (no stack). "The culture and habit of objectivity in an environment of specific knowledge". Sounds great and it does work in chess, seems to fit in poker. | ||

| Another suggestion is pick a card any card and when you see it in your hand or exposed on the table ask your self a series of questions . Including ,Am I on tilt right now? Be honest and subjective. It is a way of triggering what some great poker player called a Mental Huddle . I like to call it taking a Mental Inventory. | ||

| Another good read is Zen and the Art of Poker (can't remember the author). Nothing earth shattering, but brings the fluid concept of Zen into how you should approach the poker table and all that happens during your time there. | ||

| Zen and the Art of poker was written by Larry W. Philips, he also wrote a follow up calle The Tao of Poker. Both i thought were interesting enough and worth the short read. mikey g | ||
