Tilt Avoidance Suggestions

[BruceInCA]

Okay, here's what happened and prompted this post:

Go to Vegas for the weekend to play poker. All 1/2 NL, $200 max buyin.

Friday: play for 8 hours, +$505 session
Saturday: play for 5 hours, +369 session
Sunday: play for 21 hours, -900 session

This is a pattern I'm sure many are familiar with. You get stuck early, and suddenly you're playing to make it all back, and it just gets worse and worse. You think you're playing your A game, but you're probably not. Especially when you've been sitting at the table for that long.

Anyone have suggestions? I've got some thoughts of my own I plan to use, but I welcome other ideas.

Thanks.
