running bad and tilting

Hi

I have just come off a series of pretty bad losing sessions, with a run of horrible bad beats and some coolers. My aces were cracked preflop by a crazy guy who called with j/9. I ran into set over set, and a guy hit a miracle river to pair is ace, when i outkicked him. I just cant seem to make a profit lately - though thankfully i have not exhausted my backroll yet. 

I find i rarely tilt - however, towards the end of these sessions i was making some bad decisions - like i was more willing to do a coin flip gamble (which i would lose lol) or i would bet heavier with top pair and a weaker kicker (generally having less pot control)

Has anyone got any advice for dealing with a MULITIPLE series of losing sessions. Perhaps move down a level so risk less.. etc

    just keep making the correct decisions and play shorter sessions if your running really bad

    A time out for a few days really helps! I am the king of tilting!!! When i run bad, i do it properly!

    Have a couple of days off, get it out of your system and then start again.
