I find myself going on tilt when I don't have the proper time to play poker. I go in on hands I normally would not, and then go on tilt when I lose. So be sure you have the time to play the game you are in.
I also go on tilt when I play in a game that is over my bankroll. Don't risk your bankroll trying to make that one killing. I set a 2 percent limit on the tourneys I can enter. That way I can play 50 tourneys with my bankroll no matter what my bankroll is. And I do not go into a ring game with any more than 2 percent of my bankroll. It is hard to tilt when I lose 2%, because I come out ahead in my rooms about 75 per cent of the time.
Lastly, I find myself going on tilt after losing a game, or bubbling, or a bad beat. I started saving pics of the times I bubbled, and got bad beated(my straight flush losing to a higher straight flush comes to mind even though I beat a person on the same table who had an Ace high flush.) Then I started saving pics of when I monied in tourneys. Eventually, my anger at being bubbled or bad beated is not as bad in the future, because right beside them you can see the pics that things went your way and you badbeated someone to not bubble and you made the money or you badbeated someone yourself and it moved you into a spot to money.
Now if your whole life of playing any type of games, if you always had a temper and did not play games because you get mad when you lose, then unfortunately, that kind of person in the long run should probably not play poker until they have learned to lose games, might I say graciously.
