I suffer from upswing tilt.

[Esqueleto]

I think my upswing tilt is worse than my downswing tilt. I work my bankroll up to highest and then something clicks in my brain that I am invincible. I then start my upswing tilt and end up losing money back to my usual bankroll, which in turn makes me downswing tilt.

It's a vicious cycle. Does anyone else suffer from upswing tilt? If so, have you found a method to stop it?

-High my name is Goooool, and I have upswing tilt.

I don't have the problem of going through upswings. So no, I don't ever upswing tilt.

Yes, stop winning.

I guess I was looking to see if you just continue playing on a hot streak or eventually take a break when you are up so many buy ins.

Guess I will just get sarcastic answers.

Any semi-logical person can figure out what they should do if they have this problem. If you play bad when you're on a hot streak, you should quit. If you always play good, you should keep playing until you don't feel like it anymore. Don't tell me you didn't think of this already.

I guess I'm not even semi-logocal.

Yes I have this problem as well.

My method to stop this problem is every time I am down one buy-in from my peak, I will "sit out" on all cash tables, take a walk around and then deciide if I really want to play anymore. Sometimes I sit down again somewhat refreshed and other times I realize that I cant play my best anymore, so I quit.

Sometimes I never make any money and sit out when I'm down one buy-in. Sometimes I go up 4-5 buy-ins and leave when i'm down 1 buy-in from my peak. Sometimes I leave at my peak because I just had enough and I dont want to always go out on a losing note.

I have found this to work very well. For the mass multi-tablers, you could alter it by sitting out after being down 2 or even 3 buy-ins, so that your not stopping and starting too much.

[Esqueleto]

I may very well try that.

[grndizzle]

I'd recommend sitting back and smoking a fatty, and then you may have forgot whether you were up or down.

[travz21]

Or smoke a pole.

[grndizzle]

I'm just a pot smoker, not a pole smoker.

Give it a try.

As a side benefit, it allows you to play drunk without waking up the next day wondering WTF did I do to my bankroll.

Of course, when drunk, you play a "different" form of poker. This can work for a while, as other players may have stats on how to play you. Anyway, you either lose one buy-in or make a few buy-ins, without giving them all back and tilting off even more.

Gooool, remember to ask dew for permission/approval of all threads that you start.

[travz21]

Hahahahahaha. That's actually pretty funny.

I know exactly what gooool is talking about. I had the a similar thing happen to me around a year ago. For about 3-4 months, I was making insane cash during the time. I hit all draws, bluffs worked, etc... which lead to me thinking I was invincible. I didn't lose my money though, but after that crazy upswing I hit a hard downswing, and quite honestly, that was probably the best thing that ever happened to me during my poker "career". My feet landed back on the ground, and as a result of that, I looked into my game more than before. As a result, I have become a better player than I was back then.
