Tilt, tilt, tilt. The big word every poker player hates. Everyone has their own tilt story about how they donked away a large tournament or lost another 2 buy-ins because they were pissed. No matter how rock solid you think you are, losing will creep up to you at one point. And when this happens, you need to be ready!

This is to show that is a VERY important factor in your poker career. Tilt could be the hidden leak you are trying to find. You can analyze stats and numbers until you're blue in the face but if the root of the problem is due to your psychology, you need to make a change in your mind.
