Tilting....................

edited December 2013 in Poker Chat
Does anyone here tilt?

My cousin is a quite well known poker player of recent times and taught me and my fella a few things about poker and tilting in online poker, also the things to look for when you're better of shutting down your laptop and not playing. As a result if I get a "bad beat" I lose all interest in the game and log out for the day, or sometimes 2 or 3 days.

My fella withdraws from the site the gave hm the bad beat and plays a different site. So why would anyone tilt, it actually has a name, you know you're doing it, its going to cost you money, you never win when tilting, so why?

BTW, My cousin won $1.1million in 2011, and over 300'000 in 2012.

    I think I know what u were going to say Vicki but I will. I know on sky the bad beats happen more on sky than any other site. on poker stars be4 they changed double or nothing to 50 50s I played on there,and my rake paid was about half of what profit but on sky my rake is double than my profit.theres other stats to back this up aswell so my spreadsheets say im more likely to get a bad beat on here.so I have stopped playing here as its fishy how many days the VARIENCE as they call it on here kicks in and you cant win a hand no matter what u or you`re oppo ios holding..
