Default A subject covered extensively - Tilting

If you take a number of really bad beats in a session, but you got your money in with the best hand, does it effect your play? How do you deal with it? What are some techniques you use to get yourself centered again, or does it not effect you?

I'm really curious because since I've been re-building my roll, playing at low limits you can take some amazing bad beats. I've taken a number near unbelievable ones over the last couple of days so I'm searching for some new ideas about how to deal with this. I mean in about 25k hands I think I've tilted away at least 7-8 buy-ins by making stupid plays because I wasn't in the 'right' frame of mind. I think that's a bit absurd personally. If I take one or two in a session I'm usually ok. I can handle it, but when it goes over that I know I start tilting.

I know this topic is covered from time to time, but it's always good to re-visit.
