Staying off tilt
I am new to poker, about 3 months but see a lot of potential in my game. When I am playing my best game, I have about 95% confidence that I know if I'm beat or not and am right about 90%. The problem is I've only got 3 months in the game and am still learning to look at poker as a long term session as opposed to sit down and make money every time thing. Because of this, I got on tilt pretty hard and will throw away hours of good play with 5 hands. My game seems to fit best in NL so obviously a few mistakes makes a big difference. My question is, when you see yourself making mistakes (as opposed to bad beats), what do you do or tell yourself or ask yourself to keep from going overboard. I know I'm always going to make mistakes, I'm not perfect. But when I put a bunch of mistakes together I get very discouraged. Any comments would be welcome.
