JL: I am basically finished writing Positive Poker, a psychology book, with psychologist and poker player Dr Patricia Cardner. The good players simply tilt less often, and less severely. That should be out in the near future. The flop is and you think “Bingo!” You check the flop and the button puts in a big over-bet. This is something I want input on from people who actually have a solid foundation of knowledge in poker psychology. With scrabble, for instance, you need to learn all of the tricks above, plus rack skill, the endgame, the psychology of it. Scrabble, or chess, or backgammon, or POKER takes thousands of hours of intensive study. We have all seen this type of situation before: After being dealt pocket aces, you open up for a raise and get a caller form the button. None of us can escape it completely. Tilt is an occupational hazard of being a poker player. Everyone else is of course welcome to speak up too, but if you're an amateur at.
