So I've discovered the absolute answer to tilting, lack of patience and discipline, and keeping your mind going.
SUDOKU! (Or any other form of distraction).
Being the ABSOLUTE donk / fish / ATM that I am, my poker mind has not yet developed. As such, I'm still tilting, playing too many hands, playing impatiently, and not thinking everything through before I act. I was losing money, but today I've had a huge winning session.
If I'm playing sudoku while I'm playing poker (sudoku book on my keyboard), I find it incredibly easy to look at the game more logically and get less emotionally involved.
1. I always wait for the best hands. Anything less distracts me from my sudoku.
2. I'm able to think logically instead of react, saving me from straight v flush hands and flush v full house hands.
3. I'm not phased or excited when I see jacks or queens because whether I'm playing a hand or not is fine by me. I don't get impatient and I'm not looking for any excuse to play a hand.
This is likely going to help noone but me because as far as I can tell I'm one of the worst on this site, but give it a shot anyway.
