Default Re: Winning big pot causes bad play

[ QUOTE ]
the form of tilt that gets me most is overconfidence when I'm winning.

[/ QUOTE ]
Poker literature is full of warnings about playing worse/tilting when losing and its generally said that play improves when winning. I've noticed it isn't that simple. Sometimes being carefree helps my game sometimes it doesn't. I even wonder whether being a bit money scared is a good thing.

Some questions:
1. Is overconfidence tilt an underestimated problem?
2. What types of people are more vulnerable to one type of tilt (winning or losing) than the other?
