Yesterday I had a bit of a tilt (frustration) moment after facing suck-out number ten thousand - as can be seen in my "rant" post. If I had kept playing, I would have lost so much money there. I took a break, and played 3 hours when I had cooled off lateron. For 50ptBB/100. So I'm kinda proud how I managed to change this pattern of always blowing my earlier winnings when I got overrun with emotion and couldn't stop playing.
This has a 10x greater effect on my win/loss/BR than any sort of poker-specific knowledge..
