    Take a break... go out the room for 5mins or so to re-group...

    Ive had an awful run of form this last week, and even changed the way I play... which did me no good at all... lesson learned...!

    It can be difficult not to go on tilt - especially if you've not long taken up the game. I think most of us, no matter how well disciplined we are go will go off on one from time to time especially if we've had say, three bad beats/suckouts in a row that knock our bankroll sideways and/or out of tourneys etc......

    You can and do get angry if you're doing everything right and some numpty pulls the rug from under you with an idiot hand. Do not do anything drastic like hurl the laptop out the bedroom window (if you must, open the bedroom window first - it cuts down on costs!) or, if it's the early hours of the morning rant at the monitor ("how could you call me with that you stupid *+&!!?:@!!!) as you're likely to wake the missus and/or dog and end up getting banished to the garden shed.

    Just close the machine down and walk away... come back tomorrow and hopefully everything will be back in perspective.

    Eventually when you've been through this a couple of hundred times you'll get like me and be totally philosophical about it, you shrug your shoulders and get on with the next game..... It's cheaper than having to buy a new computer!!
