Best game ever - then I tilt
Soo, I almost made it to the Sunday G Million last week (Partypoker). I played in one of the $11 buy ins. I got a real good start and played a conservative game. No too wild bluffs. So when we are 19 people left, I am chip leader at my table with about 30 K chips (about 14% of the chips). The overall chip leader is at the other table and is just a couple of 100 chips ahead of me. Since there 1-4 place is a seat in Sunday g Million, I feel pretty good about this. Then suddenly, I get AA!! I sit directly after SB but want to make a raise at least to get rid of some people. I push in an extra BB which I think would give me a few players left. Then the guy (a pro from the US) at pos 6 goes all in!! All other folds ... Of course I can't stay away from this. I throw in my chips. He has ... KK!!! YES I thought, this is just not happening. Nothing comes up on the flop or turn, but the this ugly cowboy show up on the river. I lost!!! I am now sitting there with about 8 K. I am completely on tilt and next round I get KQs which I check. Then the button guy goes all in. I call. He sits there with my AA from my earlier hand. I lose.
I know it's not possible to do anything about this bad beat, but how to people recover from temporary tilts? This game was the best I ever have played. I was extremly focused all through the game, except when I lost AA to the KK.
