Players that have never tilted are playing something other than poker. The best advice I've read here is in aokrongly's Psychology of Losing thread. Read it, then read it again. And remember, you don't have to play the next hand. You aren't missing out on your opportunity to win back what you've just lost. Poker ain't goin' nowhere.

It’s something everyone has to deal with. First: learn to recognize it. Second: figure out a way to counteract it. Step away, stop playing, fold, whatever.
Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL

You HAVE to learn to deal with bad beats. Do whatever it takes, but the greatest poker players in the world who have tilt problems can break themselves.
