This is a fallacy - like if you say you know the right action, and do something else, well, you couldn't 'know' it in the first place.

Knowing the correct action and doing something else without a very good reason is the definition of tilt.

I'm not saying that good players don't tilt, but I am saying that if you think they are good, you are picking the wrong target.

Play against the players that are weaker than you unless you have a good reason why you can't do that. (like being in a tournament)

If you keep butting heads with players better than you, you will lose a lot of buy ins during your education.

I'm also a short handed / HU player, and I understand what you're saying. Look at it like this:

How many times do you say to yourself, "Oh, the 3 seat thinks I'm on tilt now because of the last 2 beats in a row. He's more likely than usual to call a big bet from me."

Think about it.
