Tilt?

[Drontier]

im not sure if you guys encounter this. its the part where u have no idea if ure tilting. you get pushed around left and right, every steal you make is 3 bet and then you finally pick up a borderline hand. like QQ on a JT742 board. And you just keep thinking, they probably THINK im on tilt, so theyd call with a bigger range, so its worth capping. then u get shown the nuts to your face. and you think what the hell was i doing. Is this tilt? or short term - anguish variance? lol.

Example, after getting moved off a bit, do you cap this river?

Well if your opponent thinks you are tilting it's a easy cap without a good read. The chance of hands like KT, KQ, K2, 22 is big enough. Actually because of my agressive style some opponents prolly think in on tilt and they start just calling preflop with big pairs and think they are playing NL [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you were really tilting you would have bet the turn. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I almost did

Another example. Honestly I thought Villain led a draw on the flop, so i was raising turn to check behind on river. For some reason I just thought that villain turned a bigger draw or was getting more aggressive with his draw. Talk about not tilting huh? (btw this was against unknown) now you may laugh.
