Great post, OP. You describe every step of tilt perfectly. The only answer is to turn off your computer. Ignore your compulsion to keep playing. Just get the hell away, the game will be there later. You want to be the cool, calm player picking off the action fish who's throwing his money around. Now you're the table target, time to get the hell away.

I find a wank and a sleep helps...
