Tilt or what?

[Ovaltine88]

I am currently at 10/20 Blinds, I have no problem earning my money, but after I win a session, I feel too confident, and invest all my money on weak hands that I know I am beat. It's like a total meltdown. How can I control that? Is this a discipline problem?

Hi, not sure I understand what exactly it is that you are asking? If you are playing worse than the best you can due to your emotional state, then yes - that is tilt.

even if you're the best player on earth it doesn't mean that you can beat somebody who gets a premium hand with rubbish

if you know you're beat then why do you play them? obviously it's a discipline problem

How about you set limits for yourself win or lose then walk away for the day. If you're unwilling to do that, can you let us know when you've won some.

Sorry, I meant 10NL, 10c/20c blinds. It took me 3 hours to win 60$ in a session, 10 minutes to blow $50 of it. Thanks I am gonna try that limit thing.

There is such a thing as winning tilt, just like losing tilt. Basically, you should play the same regardless of how much you're up or down.

Hmm...we generally expect 100bb buy-ins, so 10nl on FTR means $.05 SB, $.10 BB. For 10c/20c blinds, we'd call it 20nl, though those game types are rare online.
