Sorry if you misunderstood. I did NOT play perfectly, and don't claim that I did. I can remember some marginal calls I made with top pair, or calling a raise with trip kings although I knew he had the flush. It was just frustrating because even when I stayed level headed, I just couldn't win a hand.

So I would say tilt cost me a MAX of 5K in this swing. The other 25K is just some bad beats. People want to see them, so I will post a couple...

I feel like this thread has turned into me defending my play, which I am fine with, but orginally I was just seeing if this happened to anyone else and how they dealt with it.
I appreciate those who have actually posted something useful (Holdemkillah, edge, russianbear), not "You don't understand variance/you suck".
