Tilt

[Rotating Rabbit]

Id give myself a -3 out of 10 for tilt, and its destroying my game. I cant believe i'm calpable of some of the things I do. Its frustrating outmanouvering everyone in a game, winning several buyins over a session, then dumping it on a ridiculous call. Here's one of my favourites from party NL600 6-max a while back:

Hero ¬1100
Villian ¬800

Folded to hero who raises to $18 on button, sb folds, villian (bb) reraises to $60, hero calls.

Flop comes: 10 6 3r Villian bets 40, hero raises to 200, villian pushes, hero calls.

Needless to say my J9s didnt win.

So then I have to spend hours playing my A-game to get it back, its so utterly frustrating. Its as if I pay rake to the house, and tilt-rake to some lucky player. I guess i'm just typing this because I dont know what to do! Id be winning so much more if I didnt blow so much in this type of manner.

Haha. At least you will have a good image at the table, like Zeejustin.

I'm curious, what's your rationale for making this horrid call?

You say you were up a few buy in's & "out-maneuvering the table", why you make a tilt call?

Usually if a player tilts its after taking a couple bad beats in a short period of time.

Why then, would you make this call when running well, and out playing the table?

Because this villian was pissing me off real bad, he'd successfully check raised me several times prior.

I bluff too much when I tilt as well.

Although here, the bluff isn't the big problem. It's calling his allin with no pair no draw that's the problem.
