Every player at the poker table is fighting for something. Some fight for money, some fight to fight, others fight to respect themselves. Everyone's motivation for getting ahead and throwing blinds is different. What if the player is fully tilt? What does he want?
Money? Not really. There is no worse situation to collect money from others than being in a full tilt. Usually, such a player will even go up to higher limits and play with those who are better than him. Let's say there is a 70% chance that he will lose big and a 30% chance that he will tie. We can simply conclude that such a player is completely irrational in trying to make money in this way. However, it is all too simple here. But what if we were to assume that he knows what he is doing and even acts with his own motives. If that is indeed the case, then what does he really want?
Modifying his self-awareness is what he really wants. He wants to escape from the history he is currently living in. For a player in a downswing, his whole downswing will look like one ongoing painful event that connects him to the high point that preceded it. But a session full of intense, tumultuous tilt changes everything. Those 30% chances of a tie allow you to escape the pain and complete the downswing. Even if the 70% probability comes true and he loses a lot of money, the player will lose so much that he will no longer feel he is standing still, no longer tied to his former heights. He will reload his self-awareness.
Have you ever lost so much that you felt like you were in a new place? It changed everything. Suddenly you had to re-evaluate yourself, to start all over again.
This is the "de-sensitisation" of the story we tell ourselves. It's pressing so hard from the other side that you feel completely burnt out, almost refreshed. It is a new chapter of your personality being decisively created. You are no longer tied to the slump you felt last time - everything is starting again. It's like throwing out an old wardrobe, moving to a new apartment or making a New Year's list. It's like a starting point where you start all over again. It may sound strange to explain it this way, but this is what we experience - the feeling of being free from the old story. It is a relaxation.
A player who is heavily tilt-played thus ensures that he or she will be subject to a mind-flip. This is what he is fighting for. He wants to be free of his history and, in a way, that is a very sensible incentive. The only problem is that, from a second-order perspective, this is not the best way to do it, because it sabotages the long-term goals (namely, "making money"). Instead of sacrificing it all to de-resetting, it would be much better if we tried to reformulate our own beliefs.
Self-conscious narratives are the stories through which we feel ourselves, and reformulated beliefs are rewritings of the same stories. We have often found that such reformulations are very useful, but how do we really assimilate our new story?
Usually. Just telling it and telling it to yourself over and over again, again and again. Why the ancient Greeks 
believed the stories of Zeus and Apollo without ever seeing any evidence of them? They believed because of the power of the storytellers. Stories gain power when they are told over and over again. If told with sincerity, the story becomes more and more powerful, more and more convincing, and in the end you have no choice but to believe it.
So, think about the stories you tell yourself. They may not be obvious, but if you pull them out into the light of day, you can reveal them to yourself. Explore these stories and decide how you can revise them to make them serve you better. And when you have a better grasp, you can completely rewrite the journey of your experience.
