Signs of Rust

So I just finished taking two days away from the game to deal with midterms and realized why people drink. I hate school. Anyways I dropped a buyin in 2 hours so no big deal, but I saw a bit of rust in my game. Not necessarily the big things like forgetting how or when to bet, but the little things. I was so worried about the swings in the first 10 minutes that I don't think I really was playing optimal. I'm just going to some things that I feel I should be aware of in the future when I feel rusty.

1. Could feel anger flushing up my face when the nittiest of regulars was constantly 3betting me.
2. Tilted when an opponent hit a gutter on the river to get my stack, I should've just reraised the turn and gotten it all in because I doubt he was bluffing a third barrel, and I was going to call anyways
3. The problems with tilting and believing I deserve to win, when there is no deserve, it is what it is
4. Tilting when my bluffs just didn't work and getting called down very thin
5. I wasn't up to speed on the action in the beginning and probably should've played fewer tables

I think in summary, I was much more prone to tilt today, but I think I played well in general and will know in the future if I come back after a short break, I might want to start off with fewer tables.
