Bond18 Shares Time Management and Tilt Control Tips for Poker Players
Poker player Bond18 shares his insights on managing time and controlling tilt in poker. He highlights that MTT poker limits freedom the most due to its duration and schedule. Bond18 mentions that in live poker, players have little control over their time as they play one table and all breaks are scheduled.
Bond18 shares his daily routine for online poker, which includes waking up, taking a shower, having breakfast, and playing 3-6 tournaments initially. He plays 6-10 tables simultaneously on two monitors, with an average of 7-8 tables being the most comfortable. He recommends having easily prepared, healthy food nearby to avoid distractions and suggests focusing on tournaments where you have progressed deeply, especially during the prize zone and final table.
Bond18 advises that playing many days a week is not difficult and enjoys the flexibility of working from home. He mentions that the last time he tilted was over a year ago when he was playing outside his bankroll. Bond18 advises finding ways to release emotions and avoid stress triggers to manage tilt effectively.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
