If you struggle with remaining calm, you'll have a hard time being a winning player. I think it's vital for any player to be on top of their emotions, and avoid tilting.

If you start feeling frustrated because of run bad, breaks always help to refresh the mind. Even a 15-30 minute break can do a lot for the mind. There is poker running 24/7, so there's no rush to play another game. I try to play every game with a level head.

I won't bother playing if I'm feeling down, because it wasn't my day. You can't win them all.

Have you ever let your emotions get the best of you while playing poker? What are ways to prevent yourself from tilting after coolers or run bad?
