Included in that is the use of a statement to \u2018Inject the Logic\u2019 as a means of getting you thinking more clearly at a time when tilt starts affecting your thinking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I also talked about working towards resolving the underlying cause to your tilt.  Something that reduces the intensity of your anger, so you have less emotion to manage at the table.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Resolution happens when you solve the conflict between you and poker.  It may seem as though your conflict is straightforward \u2013 you hate getting sucked out on, you hate losing, you hate making mistakes, you hate losing to bad players, you hate being hit &amp; run, you hate running bad, etc.  But there are a lot of details about this conflict which can\u2019t be covered in a short blog.<\/p>\n<h3>A way to start working towards resolution<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For now, the easiest way for you to start working towards resolution is to design a logic statement that directly attacks the reason(s) why you hate what you hate in poker.  Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you hate losing because you\u2019re competitive and want to win, try this, \u201cI have to lose in poker because of variance. I\u2019m more like a slot machine that pays out a large % of what I take in, than a professional athlete who beats lesser opponents most of the time.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If making mistakes makes you tilt, try this, \u201cPerfect poker isn\u2019t possible for long stretches.  Every mistake I make is an opportunity to learn as long as I work on it later.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you hate how unlucky poker can be, try this, \u201cThis is why I use BRM and if I keep playing solid and weather the bad run, I\u2019ll gain a huge edge over players who totally lose control.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you feel like you deserve to win, try this, \u201cPoker doesn\u2019t care what I think I deserve, my job is to do the best I can with what\u2019s dealt.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If someone is being rude and pissing you off, try this, \u201cWhile they try to annoy me, I am going to pay attention to how to exploit there tendencies and take money from them.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I\u2019m certain that you can come up with many good ones for yourself that will work as well or better.  In fact it\u2019s best when written by you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As you continually apply these statements during the session you are slowly chipping away at the problem and slowly getting closer to solving tilt.  This process is much more like chopping down a tree with an axe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As much as you\u2019d like to have a chain saw and solve it right away, that just not how the brain learns.  It\u2019s not like you can just download the solution to tilt like a character in the \u2018Matrix\u2019.  Ironically just wishing that you could makes you less able to control it in reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>For more information about Jared, his coaching or to ask him a question, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/jaredtendlerpoker.com\/\">jaredtendlerpoker.com<\/a>.
