    I play SNGs and MTTs up to $20 buy in and if I stick to these limits I do pretty well. However when tilting, its straight to ring games and big buyins and generally lose big and need to rebuild. Not an unusual story I'm sure.

    The other week I set the limits on stars to prevent ring games and limit buyins to $20. Worked ok for a bit then I ran the coldest and 1 and 2 outer bad beats for days. Uber tilted but couldn't play cash or big buyins so the mouse, monitor and house furnishing are taking a pounding. The frustration is incredible when losing to a 2% dog and not being able to tilt off.

    So, should I reset the limits and be able to tilt or continue the same and hope that I'm on the road to dealing with the tilt monster.

    Any tips on dealing with tilt, or is it part of your personality.

    You should really get your anger management under control as taking bad beats is part of the game.. If you can't get it under control, instead of taking it out on things that cost you money, I would invest in a punching bag, some stress toys, and maybe some prozac ;) Hopefully you get things under control or know how to direct your frustration better..
