I always had this problem. I started playing poker as a cash game player like 12-13 years ago.

All and all, I am quite good in the game, I know how to play, have developed a solid strategy over the years, and probably could have made a lot of money. BUT!

Whenever I faced a series of bad beats, I just could not help it. I always get tilted, and go on splashing. I've had numerous sessions where I would lose 3-4 months worth winnings in one session, just because of a single tilt.

I tried to handle my emotions, read books on mental state management, anger management etc. It did not help. I am still easily tilted in cash games occasionally.

This is why I switched to tournaments. And believe it or not, I have not had a single tilt in tournament sessions. No a single one, despite the higher variance, I seem to keep my calm in  any situation. Its weird but it really helped me.

I can still play a cash game session from time to time,  and guess what, sometimes I go on tilt)))) So switching to tournaments was the best thing for me. I do not think it will work with everyone, but who knows, maybe you should try it as well.

Good luck, stay calm, and keep crushing:D
