Yup. It is so easy to go on tilt after a bad beat. The trick is to take it like Bjorn Borg. Or, as Borg did when he was winning all those Wimbeldon singles titles. Not when he was getting stoned and pis-ing away his money after he retired.

I think that also distinguishes to new poker champs from the old. The old could take a bad beat and come back to win. Many of the new guys are hyper aggressive front runners who can't run at all from the back of the pack with mud being slung in their faces. <G>
