Many yrs ago in Reno w/my GF. 10 days straight did not have a neg. day, up around 8k which was a lot then. Left 6 of it in the Hotel safe. The GF went shopping, so I thought "just play for an hr or so, pick her up & go to dinner". NOT lost the 2G in about 45 mins., pissed went back to the hotel took another 4 & lost that. Would have lost all of it if didn't have to stop to get her. 6K gone in 2 hrs, that took me 10 days to win. What a loser!!

I just lost 14 hands in a row playing heads up vs the dealer. The bad thing was that the deck was either neutral or favorable the whole time...dealer had 4 BJ's and multiple 3-4 card 21's...so hard for me not to go tilt at the moment - bout to go stand in a cold shower.

I do tilt in poker, never really in sports. In poker I feel it coming and most of the time I can just get up and walk away. Other times my hands take control of my body and its jam jam jam jam till I hit or busto

Know this feeling all too well............dont do it as much anymore but when I think about those times back in the days, it pisses me off & I feel like smacking my head up against the wall.

I don't go on tilt, weird but never have. Losing streaks have the opposite effect on me, they make me want to bet less or nothing till I get my confidence back. I will throw a tantrum though if no one else is around when I suffer a bad beat in the middle of a losing streak. For example the Cubs game last night. Had the Cubs and the Under. Looked like my losing streak was coming to a close until the 9th inning. I was cussing and bitching as loud as I could. Would never do this in public though. They're fun to witness though at the sportsbook where I've seen melt downs from others.
