    Reading about my fantasy baseball team, where CHAN HO PARK gave up 10 earned runs. Instant Tilt on the tables!

    Anyone else?

    Hunger. I can play semi-decent tired, pissed off, depressed, or even drunk, but when i'm really hungry my game goes to shit.

    Tired is the only thing that gets me. I can play fine hungry, drunk, pissed off, ect but if baby's sleepy, it's time for bed.

    Here are my tilts:

    Boredom tilt. I'm sometimes very bored playing lower limits.

    Phrase tilt. Someone says one little thing that pisses me off. For example, "I thought you were bluffing."

    Trash talking tilt. This is opposite of what you think. When I talk trash, I take it to far, and put my own self on tilt. Sometimes I'll play well, but I'm still on tilt nonetheless.

    Dumb ass play by opponent tilt. Someone does something almost inexplicable. Even if you win the pot, you can go on tilt.

    Dumb play by self tilt. Obv.

    Suck out tilt. Obv.

    Bad beat tilt. Obv.

    Long run of losing tilt. You've lost like the last 8 SnGs, and you feel you're playing well, and you really don't know what the f*** is going wrong. You're taking a break, driving around, just trying to think what you can change, and you keep thinking, "I'm playing the same way I always have."

    No cards tilt. Obv.

    Nice but not great cards often with absolutely no flop tilt. You keep getting in hands correctly, and get no help from the flop added to the fact that your opponents will NOT let you bluff the pot.

    I'm sure there are others.

    I actually don't suffer from much of this anymore. Dumb play by self tilt is probably the only real one above that I go on tilt from because I alwasy feel I should know better. But, I've experienced some of teh others before until I was able to control my emotions a lot better.

    From the last couple weeks, nothing has managed to put me on Tilt more that NBA officiating. I am looking at YOU, Joey Crawford and Dick Bavetta!

    Also, the Phillies.

    I've said it before, but watching that bitch Patricia Heaton on Everyone Loves Raymond totally OWN Raymond and his pussyman antics iritate me to no end, yet I can't turn off the show because I love Peter Boyle and Dorris Roberts. I would lose my mind if I was married to someone like that. I try to avoid watching Raymond during a big game at all costs.

    My wife demanding use of the computer to check her email. She has a way of timing it just right. As soon as I hit the money in a tournament she shows up. So, I have to get aggressive to either get out earlier than I wanted, or my stack goes way up and I finish high...so I take a few rounds off and let her use it for 15 minutes.

    It's such a fun move if you were limping a high pair like AA or KK though...I rarely do it, but when I do it pisses people off and can cause others to overbet. Sometimes its profitable, most of the time the person that did it is an idiot.

    I am sure that this is the most frustrating thing for me..... when someone unexpected shows up at my house... I have to go answer the door quick then hustle back to the computer then they come and sit down and want to talk or whatever, and that really irritates me, them watching me and them wanting to know whats going on.

    I'm not talking about if my parents stop by or if any one of my real close friends. I'm talking about the guys you don't always see the girls who have no fucking idea what poker is about and ask all sorts of questions that you will simply answer with well i had AQ off in the cuttoff but a sneaky player limped UTG and this made me feel uneasy about raising it up after there was two other MPL's. Then they look at you and say, "huh"

    I just want to say shut the fuck up and let me play.

So when im going to play i make sure i get rid of my cell and dont let her know im at my house, else my game will go down the drain ...

    My biggest tilter/pisser Without a doubt is when im in a lrg turney/w a good payout and blinds are starting to become a major factor.. Tight player utg limps into a 1.5k 3k blind. You know it and most of the table knows dudes got AA or KK... You call the limp with 89 suited or JQ suited or small pockets hoping to bust off a big hand.. two more limpers.... Then the table donk in the bb minimum raises with ace rags.... UTG limper says ty sir to himself as he shoves his huge stack intot he middle of the table.. One of the early limpers is shorstacked and decides to gamble.. UTG guy shows AA and it holds as you look on in utter missery at the flop of 2-2-6 and wishing you had called/w your 66... Somebody tell me why????????????? It happens non stop... I dont really tilt here, but it pissssses me off to no end!!!!!!!!
