I pulled a real tilty move today

[SomethingClever]

Usually when I go on tilt, I play too tight and passively, silently fuming but still playing at least decently.

Today I 3-bet the river out of frustration when I knew I was beat.

That's the first time I've done that in a long while.

I'm beginning to think I have a real problem with tilt, because I am always fuming in some way or another about my results.

I'm an extremely competitive person... and I wonder if this is the main source of my problems.

In poker, you can't win through sheer effort. You will often lose despite playing your very best game. After 200,000+ hands, I know this consciously, but I can't quite get my ego to accept it.

Part of it also is probably that I'm experiencing a very long stretch of sub-par results. Losing seems to beget losing... as my psyche deteriorates it makes it harder to win, which further deteriorates my psyche, etc...

when you are having a crappy session, sit out. drink some whiskey.

i also like to change around limits/games, but thats just my inherent hustler style (and you cant avoind running bad no matter how hard you try, but its a change of pace).

I'm not sure I should be drinking whiskey on my lunch break.

I agree. I only drink when I am on the clock.
