Already put another question on that 'official' question thread, but....
If you can manage your tilt whilst playing poker, can poker be used as a method of relaxation from all lifes stresses and strains which you could tilt from?
During the recent 6max UKPC. It got folded to me in the SB, I raised and the BB folded.
The player on my immediate right said " go on then show us just what you are raising on"
So I turned over my 4-2. This caused some amusement and the BB claimed he was deeply upset. He was having fun also.
So the question is this. I rarely show a hand, but on this occasion I thought it was a good time to do it as I usually play quite tight and I was not getting much action when I wanted it, so I raised hoping either to take it, or somehow get to showdown and win with this hand. So being asked gave me the best of both worlds. So am I right or am I deluding myself in thinking it matters.

I hope we don't spend the whole of the evening talking about tilt when there's so much more of the mental game to discuss.
My point/question relates to confidence, particuarly when during a losing streak. It's all too easy to delude yourself that a winning streak is all about you playing well, and a losing streak is all about you getting unlucky. In fact it's so easy that sometimes I go too far the other way and assume a winning streak is mostly luck and a losing streak is my bad play.
As you're doing two strategy hours this evening does it mean that you won't be on the master cash tables, Richard?
To tell you the truth, I'd be quite glad if you weren't. At first it was hilarious watching you "play" but after all these attempts... how do I say this...
It's like watching Bambi's mum getting shot on every show. You always know what's coming but it doesn't get any less upsetting.

Any tips to keep your confidence on an even keel?
