Tilt is not what you think it is
Only three days left to get a 15% discount on the new Tilt masterclass from Steffen Rachut.
After having worked with dozens of poker players, I had a strange realisation. Yes, some of my clients came to me because of tilt. However, there were many more who didn't even realise that they were tilting.
The reason for this is simple. The media does a good job at portraying tilt in a very distinct light. On TV and in forums, we see players bluffing off stacks, poker celebrities insulting opponents and online grinders destroying keyboard after keyboard. Since most players don't tilt like that, they conclude that it is not an issue for them. Fair enough, right?
In fact, they are both right and wrong. Most players who are serious about poker develop a certain distance to bad beats, variance, and out-of-control opponents. Over time, you just get desensitised.
What they don't see are the subtle changes that creep into their game. And this is often more dangerous than full-blown tilt. It flies under the radar. It's hard to spot and in the end, many poker players silently bleed money without being aware of it.
In case you don't believe me, ask yourself this: in the last week, how often have your emotions caused you to deviate from what you "knew" was the right play?
Emotions, our mood and stress cause us to play sub-optimally. Fear of losing flips in a downswing, reducing volume because you're afraid to lose, or the urge to quit a session too early when you're up. All these little adjustments become costly quickly.
In short, whenever your decisions are clouded by how you "feel", you're tilting.
But don't get me wrong, that's normal. We're not robots and emotions are involved in our decision-making process. We need them. It's just a question of how good you are at minimizing their impact on your game.
And no matter if your mental game costs you $50, $500, $5,000 per month, it is costing you money.
Aside from the money you're leaving on the table, tilt drains you mentally. In fact, I have seen tilt spill over into the personal lives of my clients more than once.
Tilt is still poorly understood
But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. In my experience, there are three reasons why tilt still has such an impact on many players' games:
- Tilt is still poorly understood
- Tilt runs a lot deeper than most players think; and since they never dig deep enough, it is still costing them money
- People are not given the right tools to resolve tilt
I am well aware of the fact that many mental game coaches discussed tilt extensively. And, yes, there is a lot of good information about it out there already.
Yet, the fact that clients keep coming to me because of the impact tilt has on their game tells a different story. It tells me that there is a gap between what we know about and the prevalence of tilt.
That's why I created the Tiltfree Masterclass. It's a step-by-step training that helps you reduce tilt in less than four weeks.
