Gonna share with you guys - Circle of Tilt for poker (gambling in general)

[Sam Odom]

I was having coffee with an old-timer after a 6hr run on the tables, he shared this with me and I'll share with you

If you are 100% ready to play Perfect Poker (PP) you are in the center of the Circle

Then all sorts of reasons or elements start to pull you off-center. The more off-center the closer you are to playing poorly or tilting

There is a struggle to stay centered. Sometimes only one reason is pulling you off center other times there are multiple reasons.

We all lose the struggle from time to time. Knowing the reasons and eliminating them or quitting before they pull you to tilt is one key to winning at poker

You can add you own reasons or elements on the circumference. This is the old timers hand drawn circle on a napkin


.

I guess bad beats fall under bad cards?


Anyway, a lot of those might be why you play poorly, but not why you go on tilt.

Dude, there are many kinds of tilts

Loose tilt
Passive
Formulaic
Aggressive
Tight
Fancy Play

good map. where does it lead to? beer?

[Sam Odom]

Alcohol would be a reason and many people should add it

The old timer gave up alcohol a long time ago

Sam,

Good stuff. Very funny! I'm going to share that with the wife. She's a big poker player.

[OmgUrMom]

very true, very true. Those are all excellent reasons people go on tilt.

[Boner_18]

I like "too many good players."

[OmgUrMom]

I like "too many good players."

huh? You like to play with good players as opposed to bad players?

[Phightin' Phils]

no, he was saying it's a good addition to the reasons you play bad

[pokernut9999]

huh? You like to play with good players as opposed to bad players?

Actually good players are easier to read than bad players.

[poker_dummy101]

its common sense. no need to write it on a napkin

So you'd rather play good players because you think they are easier to read?

[pokernut9999]

Most tables have both at them

Have you ever played live poker ?

[poker_dummy101]

So I ask a question 1+1 =

and your response is but do you know what 2+1 = ?

Get a fukkin brain. By your post you are saying you'd rather play Phil Ivey because you can read them better than some 10cent donk.

dummy , you think most people have common sense

[poker_dummy101]

dummy , you think most people have common sense

i guess not. some in this very thread would rather play good players than bad because they are easier to read.



that made my fukkin day

Napkin full of scribbles is the ark of the covenant of poker wisdom. If you would rather play poker with good players you obviously do not know the first thing about poker and you should quit because you are a losing player. Thank the poker gods that this game can skew the minds of even the fishiest fish so that they continue playing. It is beautiful.

uh oh, now pokernutt will stalk you as well because you pointed out something of common sense and made him look like a fool. watch out

[Sam Odom]

"poor health" is a good one. Not what you may think it is.

Eye strain causing headache

Back aching

Playing with a cold

Hemorrhoids flare up

Blood sugar (lack of food or too much junk)

I said good players are easier to read , why do people read into something that is not there.

I will welcome to play either of you 2 heads up

Put up or shut up big boy.

did you play in the SBR poker tourney? how about 2 months worth of points.

1. i quit playing professionally and withdrew most of my roll

2. i never reveal my names on any forum (besides 2+2 years ago when i was flipping for $100s on fulltilt which i don't use that account anymore.. go check if you want)

See , you were easy to read .

Broke bum like I said

[poker_dummy101]

hey genius,

why don't you try reading the poker forum from time to time

you know.. like the 2nd post from the top which says "Time to quit poker after 6 years"

if you stopped sucking rebate wagers cokk every day, you might have time to look at the boards

I have no interest in reading the poker forum here thank you.

Thought you might a shot at dead money

Since 90% of posts here are crap why read it ?

[pokernut9999]

Highly doubt you have money in any sportsbooks either.

[poker_dummy101]

i, unlike many including yourself, don't make anything up. have a proven track record in poker for over 6 years. i admit i lose at sportsbetting all the time and have to re-up. why else would i be looking for a pre-paid card

im not living in a fantasy land like you who are up hundreds of thousands, but don't even have a fukkin passport.

So not having a passport means what ?

Means I never had an inkling to travel outside the US.

Love how you associate one thing with another.

I don't live in a fantasy world kid , never lied about anything ever on this forum.

[poker_dummy101]

ok, this is getting old. GL

So you quit poker with a proven track record and continue to bet sports which you lose at all the time.



You are right , no sense trying to tell you anything

[Extra Innings]

Sam,

Gave the Boys of SBR quite a run if I recall correctly.
