Tilt and poorly played hands

I would really appreciate some hands that put you on tilt and
A hand(s) that you made a bad call or played poorly afterwards
Seeing as I am on a semester break and ill have some spare time I wanted to so some research on tilt with some actual numbers and conclusions, rather than what a particular author/poster thinks (which are valuable but less quantitative).

Along with the HHs I would appreciate (if you remember)
1) the number of tables you were playing
2) How well bankrolled you were for the limit you were playing (like 0-10 buyins, 11-25, 25+)
if you don’t understand what im talking about I mean about much was in your account.

If i get a bunch of these I think i can put together some valuable statistics on how long tilt lasts, ways to defend against tilt, whether it is targeted at one player/table or just "there" and other things. It would be cool to delve into this area of poker psychology as i think its been overlooked, but id need a fair amount of HHs to get anything out of it.

Unfortunately UB sucks for retrieving HH's, so I can't reveal any specific hands. I've been getting better at dealing with tilt, but sometimes I still let my emotions get the best of me and I drop a couple buy ins. I don't tilt over a bad beat, it's usually when I make an impulsive decision without thinking it over and it ends up costing me. Like for example today I raised ATo in the CO playing $25 NL 6 max on UB and the button calls. Flop is AQ8. Button checks to me, I bet half the pot and he raises immediately, stupid me I decide to raise him back and we get it all in. He's got AK and I'm down a buy-in. Then at another table I run a horribe bluff against a maniac and I'm down another buy-in. Once I regained my composure I played better and tripled up when I flopped a straight against a guy with a set of kings and the other guy flopped two pair. Generally speaking, I am my own worst enemy.

It takes a lot to make me tilt. Usually what does it is 2 or 3 hands in a short period of time where I make good decisions and lose a lot of money. Yesterday I had AA and KK cracked in consecutive hands to lose 90BB. That didn't tilt me, but then I caught a nut flush and lost to a full house for another 50BB. The funny thing is I was 4 tabling cash games and two tournaments. I quit the cash games and tilted in the tournaments. I took a break and recovered from tilt in a couple hours.

i dont tilt, but i tend to play recklessly for a bit after a big win

I am fairly used to getting beat by worse hands since I play loose/poor tables. But…the ones that set me off the most are SETS when I hold JJ, QQ, KK, AA. It just seems so wrong to hold such a strong hand and get sucked out on by the board going 4 to a flush when I don’t hold any of the flush suit. I’ve had more than my fair share of these. These are hands where I get at least 100bb into the pot by the river. Only to watch the whole pot go to the person holding K2o and the two matches the flush suit. GRRRR.

In general, I think the recipe for tilt is having a strong expectation of winning the hand [and therefore betting it hard] only to be sucked out on by circumstance.
