LAYDOWN TILT

[patrick10]

ok, i am sure i can't be the only one who experiences this.

you are involved in a monster pot, you are 99.999% certian you are ahead on the turn, then a scary card; the 3rd [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], a board pair etc... comes on the river and villain massively overbets the pot. you tank then make the lay down.

for me, it often doesn't even matter whether i was bluffed out of a pot or actually made a good laydown- i generally go on a medium -> massive tilt sess. some days i can control it, but i seriously experience this kind of tilt a lot more often than bad beat induced tilt. ( i don't tilt that often overall)

Is it an ego thing? -> the act of being dominated?
Fear of embarrassment? loss of pride if you are bluffed ?

any thoughts on the issue + how you personally deal with it very welcome...
