Acting on Tilt or Perceived Tilt or Both...

After celebrating Chinese New Year's and watching some great NBA All-Star Festivities, I decided to get some poker in to start off the New Chinese Year... What a mistake that would turn out for me as I got annihilated on Stars... Dropped about $200 to some sick beats and decided to keep on playing trying to win my money back (big mistake)... I sensed that I was on semi-tilt but then this hand looked so golden for me to get back into the game but (I spare you all the sick beats except this one)...

My overbet here definitely smelled like a bluff/tilt move in which is what I thought my opponent would think I was doing... It couldn't have been any better as I had top 2 vs his top and bottom pair drawing to a 7 and low and behold, "PokerRiverStars" (as Bill Fillmaff puts it) does it again and am down $300 and HAVE to quit before I really tilt...

Even on Tilt, making a good play and all, seems like nothing can go right for me...
