Hey today I find what is the reason of my tilt...Not a bad beats or setups or things like that but simply beeing outplayed by loosing player or break even player...I played big looser today and he crashed me badly without beeing lucky...I just didnt find the way how to adjust him and sure I was pushing rematch button like an idiot and lost 3 match in a row...So this is the reason why I would like to turn off my rematch button...Its possible on pokerstars?I am not capable to decline if I am tilting...Btw my chat is turning off already and it works great for me:)
options --> always decline rematch request (6th last in the options list)

Thank you so much!
Hi! That's not what your question was about, but do you really think autdecline is a good thing? Why would you not want to rematch fish a least one more time (btw I am rematching day and night, even if behind 3 or 4 games and often enough I won it all back and more if I think my edge is big). I understand that after losing 0:3 it is often best to decline because tilt makes us playing bad, but after only one match? Really?
I think this is only a good idea to do as a temporary solution.But if it truly is +EV for a player to turn off the rematch button, it's probably a sign of a rather large tilt problem or very poor game selection.I would suggest really taking a look at fixing some "mental leaks" so to speak. Jared Tendler has a well recommended book and there are several videos on this site (Mers did one recently, poker life coaching was the title, premium members).Also, I'll throw this out there because I think it's often the case: You may just be overreacting to some short term tilt or to "peak tilt" (bad variance + something going on in life that is negative + sleep messed up, etc.) which would be a combination of things going wrong and you not staying disciplined and just having a really bad stretch. You still want to work on the source of the tilt, but the rematch button being removed might be an overreaction (or temporary measure until your life is more stable).Rematches can be the best thing ever for a good player though. Superior players develop more precise reads as they gather new information, and bad players can be exploited more and more as time goes on, resulting in larger edges for good players. To lose that... well it's a bad thing.Quick personal story: Awhile back, I was in the midst of a 10k downswing at the $200-350 level, maybe over 1-1.5k games. I got over 35% of it back in one session, most of it against a single, massively tilting "regular" at the level. 1-1.5k games to lose 10k and under 2 hours to get 35-40% of it back. The point is that rematches can be extremely +EV (in fairness I lost a good bit at $350s to that guy to get in the 10k hole, weeks/month earlier, but the tilted reg was still overall very +EV for me). I was also in a pretty good mental state the entire time, which is absolutely key to maximizing your expectation (contrary to the first time I entered the $115 turbo level in late 2007 and tortured myself with a 1-3% ROI for 1k+ games, which in my world was 3 months or so I think of playing... just terrible stubborn experience that I learned a lot from).
