I feel pretty comfortable at 5/10 but I'm still having issues with tilt lately. I hit a peak at about $200 and dropped over 10 buyins.

This hand is what set me off and after that I went on complete spewing spree :

I know this is just variance but jesus christ wtf?

Anyways, these are my results for the month of October. I cashed the rest my bankroll on stars on Oct 25th and finally created a Full Tilt account.

I'm really feel that tilt is ultimately going to hold me back from ever playing higher stakes. I'm a pretty high strung person and can get anxious pretty easily. Lately, I feel like playing online poker is just overall unhealthy for me mentally. I want to tell myself that tilt is something I can work on, but I'm the type of person that can't handle losing lightly. It is just sad because I don't really feel like I've ever been good at anything in my entire life with the exception of poker. I think for a female I'm actually pretty decent. Every time I see players with female names I immediately watch the way they play and almost always they prove to fall in line of the negative stereotype. This makes me really angry because it's like they are not even trying.

I know this is a very small sample of hands but I right now I'm going to try to stick to playing 2 tables and maybe multitable more if I can keep my bankroll in check long enough

why do you speak so lowly of girls "im good for a girl" like you somehow acknowledge some kind of mental handicap for your gender...

Most females that I have personally played with tend to be pretty clueless when it comes to poker is all I'm saying. Most likely may have to do with the fact that poker is predominately a male game.
