I am out 500 t0 600 bucks this year after a wonderful start at the beginning of January. I feel as if things are getting worse, I am playing TAG style and always seen to be getting out drawn come the river. I have taken days off at a time to take a break but nothing seems to be working. I am not over betting just playing like I normally do

StheP is correct, when your tilting you need to take some time off your game and relax. Think about what is causing you to tilt and how you can get your mind back into the game. Then when you come back, start with some lower buyin's untill you feel you have your game back. good luck.

It's not a great place to be when money is haemorrhaging from your bankroll. Remove the tilt by taking a break, then coming back and exercising extreme bankroll management.... Don't try to recoup your losses, but start trying to win again, and yoru game will come good. Be patient and don't push it!

That is like 100 dollars per month. You need to take a good break from the game. Either dont mess at all with poker in the meantime, or review your history and see if you could have played differently. Changing platforms either now, or after the break can be proved helpful too. Better lick in the future.

..."Tilting Bad"...?
Sounds like the 'Poker' version of 'Breaking Bad'....
...except instead of drugs being involved,..it's the CARD playing induced 'dilirious' state you can find yourself in while experiencing a 'Bad Trip'....

dunno if anyone has offered this but taking a break is one option.
however if you're man enough do what i do- grab a bottle of vodka and go hunting after your money, it only takes a couple of double ups in stakes and your losses are recouped, or more likely you can head back to playing freerolls.
Among the usual stuff everybody is saying here I think it would not hurt to take some time analyizing your plays deeply. Honestly tilting and having one bad beat after another until it's piling up to the roof is not really the same. You either too easy to read or too tight even in situations where you really shouldn't be. I can't tell you anything 'cuz you have no hands here. Other than this maybe cash games is not really for you if you really like being TAG.
If you are playing cash games, make sure to notice who is at your table. It might be that some players have noticed your leaks before you have, and are targeting you. It's not personal, it's how they make money. You should find tables that favor your playing style, and have the weakest players to take advantage of. Also if some type of play/player is constantly costing you money, try to understand what it is what they are doing, and devise a strategy against that. For example if your fold BB to steal percentage is 80%, the button is going to steal with any 2 cards. You should notice that, and start 3-betting more.
Hope you will be back and make preaty big profit very fast, and also I hope you will solve your tilting problem preaty fast
