Tilt

There is only one thing that puts me on real tilt these days.  Yep, internet problems.  I was at the FT of a $16 FO on Carbon, and deep in the 70k nightly on Stars, + a few other tournaments.  I was 2/7 at the FT and I was just running it over.  Anyway, it all crashes.  I go into panic mode.  Clicking frantically, plugging into the ethernet cable, nothing is working.  A wild search for my AT&T card ends 30 minutes after the internet initially crashed, and I plug it in.  I find that busted the FT in 4th, and am down to 50k in chips in the 70k.  In total it was like around $800 in equity in 30 minutes.  I lost every pot in the 70k until I went bust and that was it.  I don't mind losing $800 because that is just part of the swings of poker.  I mind when something that is supposed to work costs me $800 though because that is something someone can control.  My internet company should be on top of that, and I should have my wireless card somewhere I can find it, so the blame is split.  I also busted the Razz FTOPs very quickly, and misclicked for a stack after the rebuy period in a $75r so this was probably the most tilting evening of MTTs I have had in a long time.
