Tilt is something every poker player struggles with, no matter the level. For me, the first step to dealing with it was simply recognizing when I was tilting instead of trying to push through it. If I lose a big hand or get unlucky in a spot, I take a short break — even just standing up, grabbing some water, and stepping away from the screen helps clear my head. Trying to force yourself to keep playing while tilted almost always makes things worse.

Another thing that really helps is setting clear stop-loss or session limits before starting. If I know I’ve hit my limit for the day, I stick to it, even if I feel like chasing losses. Over time, that discipline makes it easier to control emotions and avoid spewing chips. Tilt never goes away completely, but learning to manage it can make a huge difference in the long run.

Как избавиться от тильта в покере? Или как перестать играть в покер, если вы в тильте?

go for a walk, take a break from what upset you so much. Cheer yourself up, remind yourself that the players who scammed you were betting money on the line, relying on the worst. Do everything you can to clear your mind and restore poker balance

When you feel like you're making worse decisions than you would normally, just take a break. The game will still be there later, or tomorrow, or next week. Don't feel like you HAVE to play. Breaks are important

You can’t get rid of it!
It is mostly hard coded in our DNA.
Some can suppress it better than others.
You can work on it that it does not hurt you too much.

You try to cope with it the best you can. Take a break, go outside walk a little, drink some coffee or a juice. If you continue playing in the same state of mind you will loose money.

Smart advice

An important thing is to recognize where the tilt comes from, and rationalize why that thing tilts you.

Poker is a game with so much variance, you have to accept that.

Maybe it’s worth playing at limits where the losses don’t affect your mental state.

To get rid of tilt, I try to take a short break, breathe, and step away from the tables if I feel frustrated. Reviewing hands calmly and reminding myself that variance is part of the game also helps. Staying disciplined and focused is key to getting back in the right mindset.

Tilt is brutal. The best way to deal with it is to just stop playing. If I feel myself getting angry, I'll close the App or walk away from the table. It's the only way to save yourself from a big mistake.

Just accept the game online is rigged and play accordingly, meaning, don't expect great results from it. lol
Whenever you get premium hands, know the game might be trapping you.
So try to avoid the artificial "bad beats" and don't be surprised when you dont.
