Default The cost of tilt

If one plays every day two hours, five days a week, that's ten hours. If one loses 1 big bet per hour as the win rate, it's 10 big bets per week. Now the tilt cost, it happens on UTG or Big Blind most usually, so that one e.g. posts the big blind but leaves before even seeing what cards one gets, so that costs around 0.3 big bets (on average), the BB or UTG tilt-partial costs lets say 0.7 Big Bet (on average). Then there are all those free cards one doesn't get when one leaves after the big blind, that costing perhaps 0.1 big bets per week. So, it seems that the tilt won't make more than a 10% difference to the win rate. Lack of attention costs maybe 0.5 small bets per hour (on average). Or one more thing; one can't possibly play for the rest of the day (on average) and if one doesn't count that as free time, it costs 2 big bets, that would turn to 3 big bets extra lose, and that is some 30% of the win rate. If someone thinks it saves money here, he doesn't understand the logic of this winner.
