Message: [QUOTE="GreenDaddy1, post: 6348597, member: 337531"] Anyone ever experienced prolonged tilt that lasted days and longer and was quickly re-triggered as soon as the next session went even remotely against you? I can't seem to break the cycle right now. Pretty clearly I need a break. Thought talking about it might help too though. Background is this: Been having my best ever year grinding micro cash tables and even had been withdrawing a hundred dollars here and there. Balance never over about $250 though. Was only slightly over break even but bonuses/rakeback were getting me a tidy profit every month. Then... I hit a lucky sports bet win, then a very lucky $100 bonus, and suddenly my balance was significantly higher than ever. Oddly this has turned out to be a bad thing and sent me off the rails. Terrible shot taking at stakes far higher than I ever played before, chasing losses, playing way too long, tilting crazily, suddenly I'm just totally off the rails, huge entitlement and raging at suck outs coolers etc, going berserk in chat window. The extra balance seemed to give me a false confidence that I was going to hit the big time and keep running the money up astronomically. Uh hello reality, not happening. Lost a ton of money, all of the lucky bet/bonus in fact. This is totally contrary to how I successfully made a small amount of money this year. I was patient and played about 90 minutes a night, happily booking small wins most nights and accepting a few small losses. I've now lost faith in my self control and my strategy, and ability to read the game with cool head. And I feel totally addicted too. So yeah, time off needed, and I feel pretty awful. Fallen into a pretty epic trap. Anyone experience similar? How did you regain that good mindset? I know the obvious solutions, just be nice to hear from some others rather than battle it alone :) [/QUOTE]
