AOK, I never said anything about wiining _fast_. If you're still losing after, say, 100K hands, you either need to step up your game or go do something else. Not everybody is capable of being a winning player, because the skill set involves math, logic and emotional intelligence.
For example, I stink at golf. So I don't play. I 'll try my best in a recreational game with colleagues, but I have no fantasies that I'll ever be a winning player. I'm a Play Money golfer. What's wrong with that?
Or say somebody is the sort that goes all with TPTK all the time. Neither I nor you say this is a good idea. But pretend that somebody did. He's lose his stack regularly, probably blaiming it on "beat beats," "suckouts" or the ever-popular "doom switch." If he goes on tilt, that may actually be a good thing. If he keeps booting himself in the head enough times, maybe he'll quit donking away his buyins.
Tilt is your mind telling you something bad has happened. I agree that once should not play poker while emotionally distressed. Nevertheless, going off and walking the dog or sweeping the floor once it hits may not be the best solution.
