I tilted badly during the summer while at the Wynn ($4-8) with some friends. I had enough sense to get up. Later I talked to one of the guys we went with who lives in Vegas and plays for a living. I asked him how he dealt with terrible, terrible runs and the frustration. He said it just didn't bother him anymore, he'd seen so much of it. I think it's just a matter of time. Internet poker allows people to move up very fast if they can, but that means you haven't necessarily spent very long at any one limit. I think if you grind through for a year or more at the same limit, swings you've already experienced many times before are no longer that big a deal (been there, done that).
