Winners! ----------------------------------- JULY POST 2 ENTER ABOUT POKER CONTEST -Contest Ends on the 25th of the month- PRESENTED BY BOWERCRUSH TILT Being on tilt means letting your emotions disrupt your ability to play. All poker players go on tilt at least once during their career, but limiting these episodes is essential to winning at poker. Poker is a game that requires reason. If you have While going on tilt is natural, you need to limit it. Generally, the best way is to sit out a couple of hands and go for a walk. Another good way to handle a bad beat is to just think about all the bad beats you have laid in the past. Listening to music is another way to avoid tilt. The positive vibes you get from a song you enjoy will help counteract the negative emotions from a bad beat. I would also suggest changing songs or CDs after you have suffered a bad beat. This way you distract yourself from getting too emotionally caught up in the poker game. Many people, myself included, tend to curse at the computer if they get bad beat. However, for myself at least, cursing is not nearly as therapeutic as thinking about that huge bad beat I laid at another table. Cursing tends to make you more mad and will cause you to develop some bad habits. When you are about to go on tilt, sit out and think happy thoughts (as cheesy as it sounds, it's true), and hopefully you can resume playing your best. _________________________ PLEASE POST THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS, AND YOU"LL BE ENTERED IN A RANDOM DRAW FOR 2 X $5 PRIZES! _________________________ Terms for winning a Cash Prize and *Payout Rules* *You must have at least $20 in combined Crush Forum prizes to get paid* (Poker Crush, Bingo Crush, & Casino Crush winnings added together) -You need the same exchange value of pc points as the cash prize won: 1,000 pc-points PER $10.00 Cash -You will need to advise us which payment method you would like us to use to pay you.

I have only played like twice at a casino in person and I didn't have a problem staying under control. But playing online people play differently and it irks the crepe out of me most of the time lol. ----------------------------------- CATLICKER 05.08.2013, 23:11 ----------------------------------- "Many people, myself included, tend to curse at the computer if they get bad beat." This made my day Archie, I thought I was the only one !!! ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 06.08.2013, 03:46 ----------------------------------- I have been known to talk, beg and curse at the computer...lol... but it helps to blow off some steam too. I only play poker when alone due to this tendency. ----------------------------------- CATLICKER 06.08.2013, 11:19 ----------------------------------- The "tilt" is probably the 2nd biggest difference of live vs. online poker, with the 1st being tells. ----------------------------------- scyan 06.08.2013, 21:18 ----------------------------------- I am tilting now..... urghhhh./// 8) :P ----------------------------------- gjr1961 07.08.2013, 19:27 ----------------------------------- This is great information and advice. Thank you once again. I think I would play on "tilt" a good portion of the time, with a little reason thrown in. For some reason, I get REALLY nervous (interacting with other people does that to me) :oops: ----------------------------------- anneandalan 10.08.2013, 21:30 ----------------------------------- Great advice!!

BUMP because this thing closes tonight kids. Alrighty, yes I also have been known to CURSE obscenities at the computer, and it is a darn good thing those other players at the table did not hear my thoughts, but it really is silly to get so upset about one hand of many more opportunities. AND BLOWING THE NEXT HAND OR FEW OUT OF FRUSTRATION IS THE DUMBEST PART, AND YES I HAVE DONE THAT TOO. TY ARCHIE FOR ALWAYS MAKING US THINK, and it is good to know you have had to tread water too, if only occasionally, my dearest OBI WAN. :P LOL ----------------------------------- ojisplayin 25.08.2013, 04:16 ----------------------------------- WOOHOO!!!
