Well its also an assumption of observation. Like Phil Hellmuth really hasn't gotten better at tilt control over the years, and he's married to a shrink.
He wants to win as bad as I do, so I'm sure he's worked on it. He knows that getting really mad doesn't help at the table.
Same with like a Draymond Green NBA finals, he knows he gets too pissed off that its a technical and he's hurting his team, I'm sure he's at least tried some techniques to calm himself, but no much success.
I've tried stuff myself. But not getting mad when losing to me, is like dropping a bowling ball on your foot, and telling yourself not to feel pain.
But to your point, something we all just have to work on continually.
I've just never seen a hot head like phil, draymond, ever really change.
You ever see a poker player with tilt issues make a drastic change in this regard. In my experience, the hot heads remain the hot heads, and the ones who are really good at tilt control imop (chip reese), were always that way
and were just calmer right from there first ever played hand of poker
