Tilt is one thing, and i've learned how to control it fairly well, but what I'm needing help with now is the staying on my game during times where I am avoiding tilt...

ie:
i can easily avoid getting involved with hands after some bad beats etc. ie: avoid tilt.

my problem right now is that the bad beats are effecting my thought process anyway, but its all post flop.

for example,
last night i flopped a boat (33) on a 553 board.
villain was a horrible lagg who ive seen bluff with ace high on a 2 paired board before...
i let vill bet 3/4 pot bets into me on flop and river, cards were 10 and 10 putting 2 pair on the board.
villain overshoved river and (slaps himself) I folded. he then showed his ace high

now,
when on my game against this vill i call here 100%,

so why did i fold?

my theory is, im trying to avoid "tilt" instead of playing with my reads/instincts.

I knew he couldnt have had a 10, and i knew he very likely did not have a 5 either.
but i must of been thinking i would be avoiding just another bad beat if i folded?

wtf??

also, there are many other hands that i lose soooo much value on because I jam too early or bet to big.
its as if i want them to fold instead of extracting value because i dont want to see a river card (scared of bad beat)

i mean wtf???

the last 2 days, with the cards ive been getting, and flops ive been hitting, i should be on a huge heater, and im not.
