what do you do when you're on tilt?

[SuperJon 175]

After you've lost a big hand, or been outdrawn. What do you do to gain back your composure?I do one of three things:1. Rub one out2. Go to a 7card stud table and do some fishing.3. Go to a $2 NL game and push all in with any ace, any pair, any two face cards, or any suited connectors. Usually after I push I start typing random things in the chat box like, "eagaeah" or "gogogogaog"

#1 is a popular option. Now I can go to Party's blackjack tables and get even more in the hole!

I go to FCP and start a thread called what do you do when you're on tilt? and wait for all the smart a$$ posters to reply with useless informationthis always gets me off tilt and makes my cards run better for the rest of the nightswjust take a break, walk away from the computer for a bit and do anything to take your mind off poker. #1 always works good

Since I play mostly live, I go to the bar and have a drink, either that or go to the bathroom and rub one out.

If you're on tilt, I'm guessing you're losing money, not rubbing one out.

I cram my limp dick in a light socket.

Rubbing one out is extremely effective as tilt supressant. So online, usually rub one out and have a butt. I usually play live though so rubbing one out is rarely an option.So when playing live i usually go have a butt, and take a little walk around the blackjack tables and give myself a little pep talk kinda Phil hellmuth style. Also, for some reason, watching people lose their shirts at blackjack helps a lot.

I just know intuitively that there are going to fluctuations in the luck department. For me it isn't a single bad beat that will put me on tilt... it is about 3 in a row. If this happens and I sense that I am playing poorly, I try to tighten up and play less marginal hands for a little while... until I am confident that my game has returned back to normal. Usually I try to play the entire game (Keep in mind I play mostly live games) and I consider that to be a quality of mine. I know the other players are going to fatigue. Perhaps there are a couple of people who become very loose later in the game, yet some are trying to get back to even. So I try play until the end so I can take advantage of these situations.Now, however, when I am on tilt... I realize that not only I jeopordize my chips infront of me, but I can also become one of the players I beat up on later in the game. If I feel that is what I am heading to( from tilt, fatigue, or whatever), then that is when I leave.

Lose about 20-50 extra BB and then crush my mouse.

Go out in the hallway and smoke a ciggarette. Then look at the guy who hasnt shaved in 3 days, who has had 10 too many beers, and is bitching about how his J 2 off suit got beat by AA when he flopped 2 pair. He then proceeds to tell you that he has dropped a staggering 1000 at the 3/6 tables in the last night.Then you realized that things arent so bad anymore and you can go back to the table and play.

make gay ass sidebets about what color the flop's gonna be, then play some rigged blackjack - when the roll has been sufficiently depleted, then yes, i'll go rub one out

I punch my laundry.P.S. if you go to stud to fish, why not just play stud?.

I like to lose all my chips when I'm on tilt.

It's boring for me. I'm pretty good at the .50/1 and 1/2 limits, but I get so bored because I actually have to observe all the cards and memorize everything.

I have a broken keyboard that I smash off the wall. I had to wrap it in plastic wrap because keys kept flying everywhere.

Are there that many people molesting thier junk at the online poker tables? I never realized this was such a popular anti-tilt method. Kind of makes me not want to play.
