Stacking tilt - what can you do?

Make a break from poker, do some other hobby. Then start playing when you feel like it. I hope you are not playing poker for a living

Thanks.

Obviously not, how one wouldn't have learned this before going pro is beyond me, so..

Dude go play some football with your friends or get real drunk and talk to everyone at night,it will clear ur mind about the poker issue

Ofc i dont do that because of tilt,i do it cause i enjoy it but me and my friends are always searching some 24h futsal tournaments.Try that,or a sport you and your friends like,you will be tired,i can assure you that,but your mind will be free as a bird

hey, sounds like my old story ♦

i took like a 4 month break, cashout (almost) everything and it's ok now.
dunno what is the best approach really... but it's def what Jared Tendler calls "accumulated emotion", if you don't know already just look it up.

Go out for some running ♦ Have fun with friends and when u feel kind of relaxed play again.

You need more than a break, I think.

You need to develop some techniques to combat tilt as it happens.

I suggest that you go through the threads in "Learning to Win" forum to look for some.

consider buying "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler
It really helped me. The first part of my blog deals with this.

Taking a break to deal with tilt works only partly.
During your break the most recent tilt seems to subside, but in reality it is just getting added to the accumulation already there, like dust building up in a house. Leaving the house doesn't make the build-up of dust go away.

You need to do something to REMOVE the build-up that is already there.

Then, as you play, you need to take active steps to prevent tilt from happening, and If/when it does, you need to takes active steps to prevent it building up especially to the point where you lose composure.

Good luck!
