20+ tabling really wears out the brain. After 1.5 hrs I feel like I'm in the twilight zone, definitely on autopilot..need a break

any suggestions on how to stay sharp?

So, frustrated and angry at the horrible 50NL experience of tonight (nits, card dead, flop raises everywhere, like NO fish, 30 pots go buy on each table with none of them in the double digits which is absurd and NONE of them go past the flop), I instead of going to bed go to 100NL (which im rolled for technically but I won't move up full time until I have 30 buyins) and after I swear to my tilted self to be calm and safe and play a conservative game, I do this:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (7 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero ($100)
MP2 ($138.50)
CO ($141.15)
Button ($35.80)
SB ($97.50)
BB ($98.85)
UTG ($111.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to $3, MP2 calls $3, 3 folds, BB|BB raises to $6.5, Hero calls $4, MP2 calls $4.

Raise a little smaller cause I'm weak-tight right now, flop near minraise is always AA/KK/QQ.

Flop: ($21.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB|BB bets $13, Hero calls $13, MP2 folds.

About as good as I could have hoped, call once and see if I can stack him.

Turn: ($47.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB|BB bets $13, Hero raises to $45, BB|BB raises to $110.85, Hero calls $33.85.

That's a weak blocker, he's afraid of the ace and will foooooold. Um. Damnit. He has a set of aces. Great. Getting 5:1 but I'm not in this spot if I'm not such a retard. I only lost a buyin total tonight why why why why WHY did I do this.

River: ($205.20) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)

I'm great at poker.

Final Pot: $205.20

Results in white below: 
BB has Ks Kd (one pair, kings).
Hero has 9c Tc (flush, ten high).
Outcome: Hero wins $205.20. 

Pretty surprised to see KK tbh. Oh, and up $40 for the night, ticked off the blinds and gg everyone.

I tried to 18table today, and while I could handle it, it seems my computer can not.
I think I need to format this beach.
