FWIW I called this douchebag out in like his first 10 posts.
He had sorta become okay lately (maybe because I wasn't in strat threads), but I agree he got pretty out of line here, probably inadvertently at first, but then it just snowballed THOAC-style.
Don't compare him to me, do you realize how big of an insult that is (despite your fail attempt to lesson the blow with that stupid heart)?
I recently got fallout 3 and I'm amused that these locations are part of the game.

That happened to me HARDCORE a few months ago. I went through a 10k downswing during it, running about 8k below allin EV over a relatively small number of games, playing no higher than 200s, and moving down as I dropped towards the end (but definitely not quickly enough, which is probably my absolute biggest flaw in poker).
My beat tolerance was so ridiculously low for months after that I'd have sessions where I'd post a 40% ROI over the session and still be tilted because of a few absurd hands or games.
This is the first month since then that I've been able to bring myself to put in any sort of even remotely significant volume, and not totally freak out when somebody 4bet shoves A7o for 50bbs into my AA and wins.
I honestly don't know what to tell you as far as getting over it though. I've had soul-crushing downswings before, and I've even had downswings for comparable $ amounts, but that one, and the after-effects that lingered months after the fact, very nearly made me give up poker altogether.
The strange thing about that one is that it didn't really put my confidence level in the dumps, like all the previous huge downswings had done. Of course, having my tilt level go through the roof is at least as bad, and maybe worse, than having my confidence level destroyed. I dunno.
Sucks that you depend on poker (at least in part) for living, I didn't have that extra weight fortunately. But stick it out, play good poker when you can, quit ASAP when the tiltmonkey jumps on your shoulder, and hopefully you can recover a lot more quickly than I did.

The first few times he sat me, I was a little bit annoyed. But hey, that's poker. I've come to accept that if I want to sit first (and frankly, fish NEVER sit first anymore, so there's just no other way to table select), then the STRIKE2CALLEDs, the ITRIED2WARNUs, the genericsnXXs, and the PJam_JRs of the world are going to sit with me. Possibly even a lot. (I think I've played something like 80 games each with ITRIED and genericsn, and frankly my results have been pretty bad against them. maybe less than that against ITRIED, since although he does sit me pretty frequently, he doesn't seem to want to go for the marathons that generic and strike do)
After playing a bunch with pjam, though I'm really not worried by him. At all. Even tried to get him to sit 2 tables with me today. But since he's obviously convinced I'm a rungood moron, I figure I can expect to be sat by him anytime he's around, and any info helps, even if it's not likely anybody can (or will) give me anything I haven't already figured out.
I didn't think 3bet/calling 86 was his standard though.
