if not, how many bad beats or terrible downswings did you endure before you felt you could handle any/all tilt issues? you said you have quite a high threshold, so any rough guesstimate on how long or how many hands it took you to get to that point?
1: of course not, feel free to ask away i'm only trying to help.
I don't think i can handle all tilt issues. I don't think anybody can. That said I do think it's something that I'm pretty good at. When I first started playing I was a tilt monkey for sure so I've come a long way. I don't really get that steaming feeling anymore (where you get hot, heart starts racing, you know the feeling). I think it's just something my body's naturally gotten used to after playing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of hands. On the same token, I am also MUCH calmer in real life situations than I used to be, and I'm very confident poker has a lot to do with that. Whether it be a face to face or somebody does something retarded/dangerous on the road, I can pretty much always keep my cool.
One thing I have noticed, not sure if this qualifies as tilt or not, but sometimes I just get so nonchalant that I don't care anymore. Like complete disinterest when I'm playing and it generally happens when I'm losing. Usually this gets capped off with me getting stacked, I start laughing, then I quit.
