Question

Do you get on tilt after losing a big pot?

Answer 1

Sometimes, if someone sucks out on me and then generally only if it's happened multiple times.  Fortunately I can usually recognize it and take a break until I cool off.

I tend to tilt more when I've won a few big pots in a row and start feeling invincible than when I lose though.

Answer 2

I would like to say I don't but that is a lie.  I usually stay out of the action unless I have a killer hand for a few minutes to collect my thoughts.

Answer 3

lol, i suppose you try not to, but, hey ! it can sometimes hurt when you have a bad beat ! but if you're good, they shouldn't be able to tell anyway.

Answer 4

If a donkey made a jack azz call and sucked out - Ya. can't lie.

If I played stupid and read my opponent wrong- Ya. can't lie.

If I lost with the river deciding my fate - Ya - can't lie.

Oh going tilt after a BIG loss is usually par the coarse.

But that is poker.

Answer 5

I rarely go on tilt...unless I made a mistake of my own ...even if you lose a huge pot, just remember the old addage ...a chip and a chair is all you need to win...I've been down to one chip and come back to win a couple of tournaments, its really about keeping your cool and timing your aggression (going all in, or doubling an already big pot)...Remember never lettum see ya sweat...!!

Answer 6

then play

Answer 7

It depends on the circumstances. If I get sucked out on, absolutely. If I was bluffing an all-in, just a little. I always try and be conscious of my "tiltedness", but I notice that I tend to play more conservative after losing a fairly large pot regardless.

Answer 8

You get a better one wining one especially when it free

Answer 9

The more you play, the more experience you have.  The more experience you have, better you are to handle thing.  Winning and losing are par of the game.  Bad beats doesn't really affect me anymore, and If I lose a pot because I made a bad decision, I always keep my focus and my cool at the table, I'm the type of player who don't show emotions.  I also try to learn something from it, I  remember how my opponent play his hand so when I'm in a pot with him again, I can play differently.  I make my living with poker, and most of my income come from online poker.  I usually play between 1 to 6 tables at once, so I see a lot of action in one day, it can be good and it can be bad.  I can't let my emotions taking over, if I let that happen it will be a disaster.  Bankroll management is also a big part of it.  Money should not affect your decisions, and if you're playing the right limits based on your bankroll, there is no reason to tilt.

Answer 10

If I get creamed on a big hand I'll muck my next hand if it's anything but a huge pair, then take the time to cool down. No sense putting money in the pot when you're not 100% where you should be mentally.

Answer 11

No, I sit & sulk..then drink.
