<takesix> omfg
<daven> isn't it pretty
<daven> 21 buyins behind vs ev on allin spots
<daven> meant i had to spend way too long at 50nl
<takesix> i know you were running 14 BI under
<daven> but meant i am now 100x better at poker
<takesix> but you shouldnt ever be even at 50nl fter 65k hands
<daven> exactly, i was tilting and playing like shit
<kfused> that looks like my graph at 200nl
<daven> i now now that 20bi behind ev over 100k hands is whatever so you should still be

up 80buyins
<daven> so quit whining and learn poker cos you obviously suck
<daven> i'd say 20bi behind due to tilt in addition to the 20 from badbeats
<daven> in that first 50k
<kfused> well that makes sense
<daven> it shouldn't
<daven> so i now have tilt-control - was a cheap lesson
<kfused> even if you are runnning like shit you shouldnt be losing at 50nl?
<daven> nope, you should beat it at 5ptBB/100
<takesix> lol you dont have tilt control
<daven> so you can run 1buyin bad per 1k hands and still be breakeven
<daven> no, i don't have tilt control - true
<daven> I have slightly better quitting ability~
<takesix> i like to think i have excellent tilt control
<daven> and that's almost as good
<takesix> and i still lost my shit last night
<iopq> don't kid yourself
<daven> are you spoon in disguise?
<iopq> the underlying problem with tilt
<iopq> doesn't go away
<iopq> when you quit
<daven> is knowing what tilt is
<daven> = any deviation from a-game
<daven> and 'am i playing a-game?
<kfused> iopq why does any word i ever seen u type sound worthless
<daven> is easy to answer
<takesix> bc you're worthless
<takesix> *hugs*
<iopq> kfused: because you have a mental image of me
<iopq> and prejudge whatever I say
<daven> so i don't need tilt as a concept anymore
<daven> only a-game
<daven> and deviation from a-game
<kfused> i doubt it
<iopq> that's not true, daven
<iopq> you could be completely tilt-free
<daven> why couldn't it be?
<iopq> and still play like shit
<daven> depends on your definition of tilt
<iopq> does being sleepy
<daven> if you use 'any deviation from a-game'
<iopq> count as tilt?
<daven> ldo
<iopq> well that's not the definition
<daven> are you stupid? of course sleepy is tilt
<iopq> the definition of tilt is playing sub-par due to your emotional state
<daven> um, i side with tommy angelo on this one
<daven> that's a stupid definition
<iopq> if you take out the emotional part of tilt
<iopq> it's just not playing your a game
<iopq> why do we even need the word tilt
<daven> exactly, that's why
<iopq> if we already have "B game" and "C game"
<iopq> and "D game"
<kfused> well heres my definition
<daven> <daven> so i don't need tilt as a concept anymore
<kfused> if we're playing bad...we're on tilt...if we're not, w/e
<daven> ^
<daven> exactly
<iopq> kfused: if you're drunk are you on tilt
<kfused> thers a fine line between being sleepy and playing bad while being sleepy
<daven> depends if i'm playing a-game
<iopq> you're drunk, what do you think?!
<daven> if i play agame while drunk then how is that tilt
<iopq> how are you playing your agame
<iopq> you're drunk
<kfused> ??
<iopq> your mental capabilities are not 100%
<daven> if i play while talking on the phone and irc chatting then how is that not tilt,

regardless of emotional state
<kfused> if your playing good is it tilt?
<kfused> obv your not gonna play well when your drunk
<daven> i normally drop a stake if i'm drunk but still think I can a-game, just in case

i'm wrong
<kfused> but if you make the same plays you normally would..how is it tilt?
<iopq> kfused: how can you make the same plays you normally would if you're drunk
<kfused> some people still have a brain while being drunk
<kfused> i being one of them
<iopq> ok, what if you're fucking smashed
<iopq> and you can barely see the cards
<iopq> are you on tilt?
<kfused> isnt that self explanatory?
<daven> http://www.tommyangelo.com/articles/reciprocality.htm
<kfused> your gonna play bad, of course your on tilt
<daven> read the quitting and tilt sections
<daven> ok, i can't juggle 5-balls drunk
<daven> but i can still play as well at pool
<daven> unless i'm uber-drunk
<kfused> juggling requires more fine motor skills obv ;o
<iopq> ok, but I don't think that's the widely-accepted definition of tilt
<iopq> because I think most people would consider being drunk/tired/hungry/whatever

something separate from tilt
<daven> it's the only decent definition
<kfused> well if im sleepy and playing with a clear head/playing well
<kfused> i'm not on tilt
<daven> if you go to the core of what tilt means
<daven> or the result of tilt
<daven> the other definitions are great for people who want to keep on tiltin, and i

hope they keep their
<iopq> ok, what if I define tilt as emotionally-motivated decisions
<daven> definition, and their inability to manage tilt
<kfused> just ask joeingram
<kfused> he is the master of tilt
<daven> quitting is an emotionally motivated decision
<daven> sometimes
<iopq> that's tilt
<iopq> in my book
<iopq> if you quit while playing your a game
<iopq> you're tilting
<daven> wrong
<daven> if you don't quit while playing your agame then you're tilting
<iopq> if it's emotionally motivated
<daven> ducy?
<iopq> daven quitting is an emotionally motivated decision
<kfused> quitting after a good session is tilt? wtf?
<mailman> yay a useless argument
<iopq> I quit
<daven> if you aren't playing a-game when you quit, then you've been playing a game

worse than agame
<daven> meaning you were tilting
<iopq> after a certain amount of time
<daven> qed
<iopq> not emotionally motivated
<iopq> if you quit on any emotional reason
<iopq> you're doing it wrong
<iopq> and that's another form of tilt
<daven> wow, i desire that woman who just walked past
<iopq> "I won and want to keep my winnings" tilt
<daven> i can't concentrate
<daven> imma gonna quit and take her home with me
<daven> emotionally (or libido?) motivated
<daven> not tilt
<iopq> not emotionally
<iopq> bonerally motivated decision
<kfused> what if you get a boner? is that tilt?
<iopq> that's your reptilian brain
<iopq> emotional brain is the mammalian brain
<iopq> if you quit to eat, that's also not emotionally motivated
<kfused> w/e
<kfused> i play well with boners.
<iopq> <3
<iopq> are you hitting on me
<mailman> what if ur hungry
<mailman> and u quit
<mailman> is that tilt?
<iopq> that's reptillian brain
<mailman> idk anything about reptiles
<mailman> is that tilt?
<iopq> reptiles eat, sleep and fuck
<mailman> so is that tilt?
<iopq> and also fight with each other
<iopq> so aggression and basic needs are hard-wired in your reptilian brain
<kfused> hows it tilt
<mailman> idk
<kfused> being hungry is not gonna make u spew off 4 stacks
<iopq> emotion is hard-wired in your mammalian brain
<mailman> cause i was playing A game
<mailman> got hungry
<mailman> and quit
<iopq> and your neo-cortex is the human part
<iopq> *neo-frontal cortex
<mailman> wow
<kfused> LOL

I also prefer Tommy Angelo's definition of tilt.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

This thread looks like another invitation to come to the IRC. Not like the ones spoon always makes, because you will get better; but because it is too much fun reading shit like this.

Nice discussion BTW.
