Are you truly being honest with yourself? I'm not mocking you or trying to be an ass, I'm trying to be helpful. We've all had swings, some larger than others, when we truly were playing well, yet kept losing session after session; that really does happen. However, there is not a player alive that can honestly say tilt didn't factor in. Just today I was playing in a full ring, made a healthy raise UTG with pocket kings, everyone folded to the BB who reraised me, I reraise him and he went in immediately. Based on that alone I was positive he didn't have aces so I called. My read was right, he turned over pocket tens, so, here I am, about to double up my stack as an eighty percent favorite. I about crapped myself when he spiked a ten on the river. My first reaction was immediately to reload and get my money back. Fortunately, a little voice inside my head told me, "don't do it" (my inner voice, although bilingual, speaks in Russian, so that's a rough translation). I played the hand right, I was just unlucky, and pissed. Had I rebought to recoup my loss, that would've been tilt. You telling me you never reloaded after something like that and lost more which contributed to your 30k downslide? You probably have, and with time, you'll realize that it's a long long road, one session doesn't mean excrement. I truly hope this helps.

I don't understand how reloading after getting all-in with 80% equity and losing is tilt. It is only tilt if it starts to affect your play. I think this is what your were trying to say. Right?
