Does somebody has a link for good thread or article about tilt control for online players?

I recommend to read the tilt chapter from "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler. It is very usefull and covers many tilt aspects. I am searching also for articles, also I want to know if a thread exists here.

2plus2 has a section on gambling, including poker, psychology. When on the main 2plus2 forum page, scroll down.

And Mason is writing a book entitled Real Poker Psychology.

Ty for the advice
Will read the mental game of poker
I hope to find a thread on 2+2 sonner

In the forums of the on-line poker game I play one of the members asked for input on his PhD theses. His theses was Perspectives on emotional processes and decision making in the game of poker with special emphasis on the tilting phenomenon.
The abstract and forward on the first few pages gives more detail on the theses. The author is from and attending school in Finland.

If you are interested, here is a link to the theses in a PDF:

Marcus Aurelius has some good tilt control stuff.

Hi Everyone:

I'm going to follow up on this since there is a substantial amount in my book on tilt which should be released in early December. But putting it into one quick paragraph, tilt is mainly caused by events that your mind can't solve or understand. That is your mind will view certain events as impossible, such as several bad beats in a short period of time, which you may think is just too many to be ever happen. That is you have no solution as to how this can occur and thus your mind locks up into something like an infinite programming loop (trying to solve what I call a logic disconnect).

And the solution is to improve your understanding of all things poker such as why rare events can be much more common than they at first appear (and this is all explained in the book). By the way, an interesting thing is that tilt is closely related to humor except that in humor your mind is able to solve the logic disconnect.

Best wishes,
Mason

PS: If your problem is sometimes playing too loose, this isn't necessarily tilt. My book, Real Poker Psychology, describes two other situations where some players will begin to play too many hands, but on these occasions the player in question can still think rationally which is something a tilted player can't do.

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi KYFHO:

I haven't read this paper but I did read another paper "‘This is just so unfair!’: A qualitative analysis of loss-induced emotions and tilting in on-line poker” by Jussi Paloma, Michael Laakasuoa, and Mikko Salmela and I believe the the first author listed is the same author of the paper you linked to even though the name is spelt slightly differently. Anyway, the paper I read had much value so I would suspect that this one would as well.

Best wishes,
Mason
