I don't - If anything, I "anti-tilt".

Nice. Not too sure what "anti-tilt" is, but if it means solid play and profit, keep it up.

I play VERY VERY tight just to calm down a bit.

That is tilt.

[TrailofTears]

Play good poker regardless of your beats or wins. THAT is not tilting. Playing less than optimally is tilt, whether that is playing too loose (common usage) or playing too tight, as you speak of here. But if you are just trying to relax, then sit out a few hands. Doesn't sound too major, but try to keep an even keel on both ends of the spectrum.

Ok.

I always thought that tilt meant playing too many hands.

But I still suppose it is better to play too few than too many.

If it's night time then sometimes I will just turn off the computer and go to bed.
Doesn't seem so bad in the morning.

It sucks to work a table for several hours and lose it on a fishy play. But for every time you get sucked out on that hand, there are at least three where you take his stack.

I would have made the initial post-flop raise to 12. Once he raises you back to 24, then I think it's safe to go all-in on the second raise. My guess is that he's worried about you having A9s more than 99. I think that only AA could push back at you there.

2nd set in unraised pot against a guy who goes all-in on the flop with you who is very likely just drawing to 2 outs and you want to get away from it at NL???????

Yes, you should have folded. A better player would have known another ace was comming.
