Tilt Breaker Saves Your Online Poker Bankroll

Tilt Breaker is a self-discipline aide that will help you quit your sessions when you get off your A-game. It prevents players from registering for tournaments or cash games once activated. Tilt Breaker will disable auto-rebuy and auto-topoff and will even stop you from accepting a rematch in heads-up sit and gos. It will also not let you rebuy in a cash game or tournament.

The software currently supports PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker and there are three ways to engage what is called a “lockdown” in Tilt Breaker: through a desktop button, through a system tray button, and through a hotkey.

For cash game players, the lockdown activates a delay timer to allow the user to finish hands they are in. It will automatically select “Sit Out Next Hand” at every table you are at to make sure you do not continue. Once the delay countdown timer expires, Tilt Breaker will exit out of the online poker client software completely regardless of whether or not you are in a hand.

Tilt Breaker can be a great way to prevent yourself from hitting a stop loss when playing tournaments. If you hit a buy-in before your self-determined stop loss, you can activate it so you do not exceed that amount. You can also use Tilt Breaker as a session planner to make sure you do not play too long.

To install Tilt Breaker, go to its website and download the 15-day free trial so you can see it in action without obligation. If you are ready to purchase the product, it’s available online for $30. The downloadable installation file is 600 KB, so even limited bandwidth users will be able to download it very quickly. Installation is a breeze, as it’s very self-explanatory and simple to put into action.

The “General Options” tab has two modes to select: Cash and Tournament. In addition, you can allow the program to wait until the delay timer has expired before putting it into lockdown mode. You can also define what the hotkey will be from this tab as well. The second tab is “Time Options,” which allows you to set three different tilt levels. There is also the “Cash Mode Delay Timer,” which allows you to configure the exact number of minutes and seconds the countdown timer will be.

The system tray button allows Tilt Breaker to be just a click away at all times. From this area, you can click once to configure the program. A graphically rich delay timer will activate and then will be taken over by the official “Tilt Timer,” which will countdown and prevent you from blowing off any more of your bankroll at the tables.

For small- and medium-stakes players, Tilt Breaker seems to be a wise investment that can pay for itself rather quickly. Even players at $0.25-$0.50 games can have the program pay for itself if it saves you just one buy-in. Because tilt is a problem that all poker players will suffer, there has to be a defense in place outside of the self-exclusion options at poker rooms. Most of those sites require a minimum of 24 hours for self-exclusion, while Tilt Breaker will let you configure that time yourself.

It is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 systems.

{ I would go back and finish it if I could remmeber it.*If I forget the idea, it’s not worth my time to write.*For me writing is always a forward motion thing. No old ideas, no rewriting old manuscripts. Always forward into new stories. That make sense? Trust me, it’s a ton more fun. }Fantastic advice, Dean. I feel much less guilty about not going back to my old ideas notebooks to try and find anything worth writing because I used to resemble that newbie writer, writing ideas down constantly. Now, the more I write, the more ideas I have than I know what to do with, and the more I just want to write and finish new stuff, not revisit old stuff. By the way, any advice on how to keep yourself interested in the story when doing series? Or do you just not write them if they don't interest you (the obvious answer)? I've written a couple of series-intro stories and for some, I'd rather be writing new stories than revisiting what I did in the old story to write about the next one. (I guess your tip about writing notes on the story after you finish it would be handy, for one)

Facebook has become a mnstoer in the internet world an so have the fanpages with him, its not weird to actually see that the top ranking fanpages either have to do with facebook technology or the entertainment industry mostly. I would find it odd if i would find green peace or the westboro baptist church in the list due to the fact that in order to have such a massive fanbase you really have to BE OUT THERE. http://aaliijzgtzf.com [url=http://fwexaxmqmr.com]fwexaxmqmr[/url] [link=http://fmwudlolrii.com]fmwudlolrii[/link]

Deductibles and repayment choices. Unlike a few other facets of vehicle insurance policy, the wreck safety of the QuotesChimp is topic to your deductible (the sum you cover prior to any policy contract benefits activate). Many deductibles are about $200 however you can opt to truly have a greater or lower sum. The more complicated the deductible, the lower the premium.
