The only way to truly get over it in a session is to put that monkey on someone else’s back.
Wait till someone bets everyone off a hand and shows pocket aces or kings. Then the next time they mention it call bullshit and claim they didn’t have anything. Stick to your guns, then they’ll get the rest of the table involved to back them up. Then dismiss them with a “whatever” wave. Reference it a couple more times during hands under your breath and they’ll be on tilt ready to fight. Monkeys on them now.

Ok - lose a big hand and get tilted. I follow these steps.
1. Insta-fold the next hand dealt (I don't care if it is AA - automatic FOLD)
2. Go outside and smoke (even if you don't have to go outside, GO OUTSIDE)
3. Spend the ten minutes smoking that cigarette while berating the garbage can for that horrible hand (Garbage cans have no feelings so go nutz
)
4. Return to the table feeling better about life and start over again.

Tilt doesn't go away from me that easily. I need to vent to get the tilt gone - hence the poor garbage can

Is that you hiding behind the Coke can?

For me, personally, trying to play through tilt usually has disastrous results lol. If I do play on, though, the tilt usually disappears if I’m able to lay a bad beat on someone. I will say, though, lately with all the online play, I find it’s easier just to snap leave when I feel the tilt coming on, I can usually find another game later.
The only way for me is to leave. I don’t tilt too often really, but when @Chippy McChiperson amd I get it all in on the flop and I lose when running it twice with 90% equity I call it quits

well if it makes you feel better Beave took all my money on the next hand when I flopped top set and a flush draw, and he called a check pot with nut flush draw and binked.
...no this actually does not make me feel better lol. But I’m feeling good already. New day. I’m also sorry man! I think I need to stay away from that game until my bankroll is bigger. Lots o moolah to be made, but’s lots of varianxe
I honestly just try to breathe, and ride it out. Sometimes go so far as to leave the table for the time needed, as undoubtedly a marginal hand will show up that I can't away from immediately after and then well ... you know!
I think with the passage of time and experience you become inured to bad beats or run-outs.
The only thing that causes me to tilt now is romper room behavior where the majority of players are talking above one another and not paying attention to where the action is at the table. Instead of dealing 20 or 25 hands an hour, you are lucky to see 10.

I almost never tilt at the poker table nowadays. It's probably a function of not playing very often, usually playing with friends when I do, and never playing for stakes high enough to care anymore. But on the rare occasion that something gets under my skin enough to affect my play, I just get up from the table and go for a walk, smoke some weed, and come back. Works every time. Although I haven't smoked in at least a year or more, I always keep some in my poker bag just in case. If for some reason I still couldn't play on my A game after that, I'd just cash out and leave.
Buy a tall dog, cut the legs off, and then kick it. No problem.

Wow. Just wow.
Exactly my reaction. Why not wait until the dog is asleep?
