Re: Tilting because you win a couple of pots?
Interesting, though, that you don't see winner's tilt discussed as much. Personally, when I get stuck with some horrible beat, I'm just thinking "OK, I need to really pay attention and focus on every play I make being the correct one," because I'm concerned about tilt. If it affects me enough that I have to quit playing, I will, but that hasn't ever happened to me.
The opposite, though, is very true. I get a little excited when I go on a heater, especially if I'm playing NL and get some over-aggressive moron's whole stack. A few times I've had to get up and take a walk, not because I get some stupid "I won a big pot, now I'm invincible" feeling, but because I'm just having trouble concentrating.
It's very hard to walk away when you're on "winner's tilt," though, because we've all read so many times that if you're in a really good game, you need to prop your eyelids open with toothpicks to keep playing.
