Yeah. I've made a post to this effect a while back too (beginner's forum) - namely that upon critical inspection of my play, I always donked off more on tilt/annoyance/frustration after a bad beat than I do on the bad beat itself! Then they suddenly become twice as expensive! Not to mention the confidence loss which means more losses afterwards etc..

There are a lot of posts popping up that show people falling in this pattern. In the shorthanded forum, a post by lambchop seems to indicate he fell for it too. (he said this himself afterwards)
