Thread: How would you rank your tilt factor?

For the most part I'm pretty calm and collected at the poker tables. Sometimes I might lose a big hand that is a shock to my system and I can get a bit "****y" when that happens, but I'm pretty good at recognizing when I'm getting "****y" and say thats time for going out for a smoke. During my small break outside on the patio, I go over the hand with myself.

I would put my "tilt" factor at about a 3/10, maybe even a 2/10, Im guessing Phil Ivey is about a 0/10 since tilt really plays no factor in his game. Really I haven't donk shoved because I was mad at the table in probably several weeks or possibly months. Im curious as to what kind of factor tilt plays into your game?

Playing $10 and $25 buy in tables might have something to do with it however, I'm wondering if the higher stakes I go the bigger tilt plays a factor. I generally treat my poker cash as separate from cash in my bank or stock account.

Tilt is by a long shot the most harming part of my game. At first when i tilt i get extremely ****y and in the long run i simply think to just do it and begin playing points of confinement way over my BR and expertise level. Figuring out how to perceive and change it is my primary objective for the present. Ideally perusing TMGOP will help somehow.
