Just read your post. Very good.
I don't think 'Odds Tilt' gets me that much. You know... you just appreciate that its a game of putting 5 random bits of card with markings on out to match up with the 2 you have in your hand in some way, and sometimes they match up with the other guy's in a really surprising and unlikely fashion.
That has a lot to do with playing within your bankroll though.
You lose $30 on a terrible beat... "haha you totally sucked out on me!! what a miracle card"... But losing $300 on the same beat would of course be less funny.
It's the "Ego Tilt" that gets me more. If someone wins my money then sometimes i want it back. Or if there's a player who distinguishes himself in some way then you can unconsciously set him up in your mind as "the bad guy" and make emotionally-clouded judgment calls. Never good.
Anyway thanks for taking the time to write it all.
