Without tilting?  Ha!  I've been having the same kind of weekend, and I'm 
on full tilt.  The condition, not the poker room.

I just finished a 45-man SNG at Stars and managed to make it past the 
bubble with the 2nd biggest stack.  I immediately get a good hand and go 
up against the chip leader, who takes me down with nothing.  I don't even 
want to talk about the cards we had.  It's a genuine miracle I cashed at 
all, the way things have been going.

Not a good weekend.  My palms are sweating, and I'm itching to make back 
some of what I've lost.  I realize I'm beginning to play badly, but I 
can't seem to stop.

This is the first time I've experienced this.  I have no idea how to 
handle it.

If you figure out how to handle it, post a followup.
