Terrible session today , beat after beat and after a bit tilt and lost a bit and i decided to reevaluate my game , analyze hands and read another book .
Here are the options , please help me out :
1)Harrington on Hold'Em : Volume 1 (Strategic Play)
2)Harrington on Hold'Em : Volume 2 (The Endgame)
3)Harrington on Hold'Em : Volume 3 (The Workbook)
4)Kill Everyone - Advanced Strategies for No-Limit Hold-Em
5)Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler
6)Fooled by Randomness
Sounds - and looks - like 'Jared Tendlar to me!
It's good that you think you need to evaluate, rather than claim it's all rigged. I like you already.
Take care,

Dannyz0r, i get it you play MTTs or SNGs right ?
I think the most important aspect of not going on tilt is understanding the variance in the game and most important of all is: having a decent bankroll.
I cannot stress how important having a decent bankroll is. When I was playing cash on 20 buy-ins i used to tilt everytime. When i was playing sngs on 50 buy-ins, again, i would tilt every time. Now I play mttsns on at least 200 buy-ins.
Try this:
- if you are playing sngs, have 200 buy-ins in your account for the limit you are playing, believe me you will feel totally different when you have a bad beat. You just shrug it off, and register for the next sng
- accept the fact that variance is a part of poker, and embrace it. If it weren't for variance, there would not be any fish
Ok , some updates in this thread
Right now i am in the middle of exams , so not reading anything (i finished Kill Everyone ~2 weeks ago) .
Which book next ? Right now i feel i need something to improve my mental state , so i don't tilt and make dumb moves / calls
"The Poker Mindset" seems pretty good ,any opinions on this ?
Also feel free , to suggest me any other books
