I think every decent and passionate poker player goes through the same type of swings and many may do that.  It's the one's that learn from experience and don't continue to do it that make it.

I actually have the same problem controlling my tilt.  It actually caused me to donk off both of my BRs at U.B. & Bodog.  It wasn't a lot of my own money (I started the U.B bankroll with $12, built it up to about $80 and the Bodog with about $20 and built it up to close to $100) but it did take a lot of my time - I would say more than 100 hours, combined.

THAT's what I remember now when I go on tilt and start donking around higher limits (b/c that's what you are doing when you play above you're br even though you may not play like a donk, lol).  So after a few hands at the higher limits, I'll just say to myself, "It took me 2 weeks to get this far, why am I doing this??"

It has worked well for me thus far.  I've had 2 really bad beat days in the past week, lost close to 20% of my BR each day but after I calmed down, went back to my regular limits, through patience & persistence, I was able to recoup all my losses - doing it the right way.

Another thing that helps me a lot is to switch up games from tournaments to cash and vice versa.[I]  If I'm doing bad playing cash, I'll play some heads up SnG's and maybe a small buy in mtt.  If I start going on tilt playing those, I'll switch back to cash.  Has worked pretty well so far - plus, they're a nice change of pace from each other.

P.S.  I have no idea why this is in italics, it just started typing this way in the last paragraph.  lol
