It has been stated before that after a bad beat, you need to keep cool and never give up. I am just reiterating that very important point.

Last night I ran into this hand very soon after the rebuy hour ended.

Notice the beautiful runner runner bringing me down to less than 2k in chips?

My normal tilt after a hand like this would just be to wait for my next A or pocket pair and push preflop. Well, last night I was selectively aggressive, but not stupid or fatalistic (e.g. calling an all-in with a hand like A7) with my short stack and was able to claw my way back from the bottom of the board to eventually winning the tourney.

As Jimmy Valvano said - never give up.
