Tilt on a Freeroll?

Let me state up front that I did not actually tilt on a freeroll.  I was rather pissed off recently about one, though, and then later it occurred to me how absurd it was to even get irritable about a freeroll.  Or even the micro-limits I have been playing lately, where I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 times the BB in bankroll.

I have a goal in my head to start a bankroll at Royal Vegas without ever making a deposit.  I need to money in a freeroll and then take it to the micro-limit tables and run it up.  I did this at Absolute Poker once and it was quite a lot of fun.  (Chronicled here).  There is a Prima $1,000 at 8:30 p.m. every night.  I have been playing that one fairly regularly of late.  Thursday mnight I was making a good run for the money.  There were about 430 left in and about 250 make the money.  I had 2.5 times the average stack and was looking good.  I pulled in KK and pushed all-in from UTG+1.  I got called by someone with about 2/3 of my stack, and he showed ATo.  I flopped a K, and looked good to run deep in this freeroll.  Then I took a J on the turn and a Q on the river and I lost the pot.  Now I was crippled.  Two hands later I had A4s on the BB.  The C/O limped first in and I pushed.  He called and showed 88.  I did not improve and IGHN. 

I stomped about my house muttering and cursing for the next ten minutes.  Yell

I honestly took 4 runner runner beats that night.  I cannot get anything to hold up.  My last hand last night I had KTs and flopped trips.  I got called down and out-kicked.  It's just been the perfect formula lately for getting beat. I've dumped about $25 at the micro-limits.  Like 250 BBs.  Good grief!

Since I am too stubborn to quit, the only thing to do is to keep hacking away at it!Tongue out
