Tilt I've found to be something I tend to do as a response to feeling like I'm not getting my "fair" share of winning hands. Not being colddecked or outmanouvered, that I can deal with, it's when for an extended period you lose 4 out of every 5 80/20s when you are the favourate, win one race in 4 and get AA cracked 3 times in a row by J2, Q4 and A2. At that point, I start to think maybe I'm doing something wrong? So I analyse HHs and really can't see anything that would cause a 10 SnG losing streak, sure it's not perfect, but then no games are. I resolve to keep treating each game as it comes and sit down to play again only to then bubble on the next 3 games. Of course what I fail to realise is at this point I have already slipped on the tilt-skin and suddenly without realising in the next game I'm reraising the supertight UTG player with 72-0 in my hand and knowng full well it's a stupid thing to do. If you can't beat them, join them...

Tilt will creep up on you and mess with your head long before you realise it's there, until all of a sudden you dish out an insanely bad beat to someone and realise quite how badly you've been stinking of fish.

It's a virus, and I think I just passed it onto the holder of AA that I cracked with 72-o...
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups
