How do you handle poker tilt when you want to play?

I hope for sure you get a kick outta this confession:
I like to either play a 1 dollar or 2.25 sit go Like a compleate Arse, I even talk to my self,

"I think a min raise outta the BB here is just what I need to show them just how good my hand is here..."[Q high]

clearly I have my opponent dominated here with the J4 off. raise.

22 the nuts, Just Jam and show if they all fold and say WHATS MY NAME?!?!?

this is most likly T.I.M.
But, it makes me laugh and I get over what ever bad beat I took

interesting situation Trap turns in to a FOLD

my dad came in to watch me play today, I was delt Poket QQ UTG,

my dad said oh wow look at taht- I said yes but it is kind of a bad position to be with this hand. I will Limp and reraise, as to get more information. Well
early position Loose player raised2.25, and was INSTA CALLED by a Extreamly tight player right behind. so I am starting to think about how I am going to handle this- Maybe just call... then something happened in the BB, He Three bets the early raiser 6.75.

we my dad here is saying this is great! go all in. go all in. I turned to him and said dad Im beat here- He said I'll Buy the hand off you, here is 40 bucks. I clicked FOLD!

and he said, well maybe your right. the Orig raiser folded, the tight player moved in. I said to dad, Im up against AA and KK dad, I know it. Sure enough, I was exactly right. My dad handed me the fourty bucks and said I don't know how you play this game.

Harrahs WSOP Circuit

Im excited about playing the tournys at harrahs, there should be a decent draw to the tourny. I dont know what the structure is but it ussually allows for good play when the Buy in is bigger then 300.

WSOP Circuit is going to begin this Sat Dec 8th. I am planning to attend, I was wondering if anyone was planning on playing any of these? I am planning on playing At least these two:
Sat 300 + 40 NLHM starts at noon.
Sat 300 + 40 NLHM starts at noon.
I may also play a Sat.... there are also Sat to the Main event these days for the three day event starting on Dec 16.
I'd love to meet some fellow players and have some one I semi know to BS about poker and what not during the tournys. leave a comment-
