So i finf myself today in tilted state that has affected ever game i have played today, how can i get away from the curse of tilt
No way to get away from tilt, it is a state of mind. If you have made the right call, then it should be an easy transition regardless of the results. We want villains to come from behind on hands, right? Some point they get lucky, accept it. We want that too, otherwise they would never deposit and give more money away.
Making a mistake can take a little more discipline to get back in to the game. You have to evaluate the call, correct it and then move on. Nothing can change the results of a played hand, besides they we we play it in the future. Hardest part to accept in this game is doing something absolutely correct but not winning. Played correctly is the win, just not the intended result.
Don't blame the cards, you know this game is all about variance and long term. Simply go to the next hand, play your best and so on. Yet if you lose control of your emotions just take 3 deep breathes, while you calm down and regain control (I saw that in a YouTube video with Daniel Negreanu - it does help)

Hey mate!
Tilt is super tough, but definitely something that can be overcome in both the short run and the long run. When I was early in my career I found the higher limits I was playing and the longer hours (and lack of nutrition) I was playing often led me to tilt.

Another thing that was very important to be in being able to overcome tilt and play better was to take care of everything else in life that was stressing me before I sat down to play. (This is much more involved work, but it's super worth doing and has SO MUCH BENEFIT!)

I'd like to use golf as an example here, specifically, Tiger Woods. When he makes a bad shot, he gets angry and curses. It's a perfectly normal and expected reaction when something doesn't go right. The key is, he allows himself to release the tension and stress that results from what just happened, processes that, and moves on.
In effect, he has just compartmentalized something that put him on tilt, but now he's completely focused on his next shot. Okay, I'm dating myself a little bit with this reference, but my point is, he was doing this when he was the best player in the world.
To get upset with an undesirable outcome is perfectly alright and it's okay to let that steam out. Some people are extremely verbal when doing it, others, not as much. But the key is the same here - about getting over what made you upset as quickly as possible so that you're ready for your next golf shot, or in poker, the next hand. Many players will get up from the table, walk away and a hand or two off, then they sit back down and resume playing.
We all cope differently of course, and many of the resources that others have posted in here are all tools to be utilized to help you recover faster.
I think the one less constructive way of coping is to keep it bottled up, because over time, it's going to build up and the release will be more extreme, which is even worse. It can, in a poker sense, be even more costly than releasing what made you upset earlier, and more gradually.
I hate this the most and it ruins my game play and frustrates me, like 3 bet pree flop 3 persons in flop 7 k 10, 96 off goes all in a7 off calls and i have qj i should fold as thats the safe way but i have open ended with two streets to go, i call . A7 wins pot , i rage quit after that.
