Response 3: “Nope, not running good at all, but I must say I’m surprisingly upbeat and confident.”
- Contrived response. I have a test to see if a person tilts. If that person says “I don’t tilt,” it is a surefire way to tell that this person does, in fact, tilt. This statement doesn’t pass the test.

One thing though is that I think it's possible to convince yourself that you're tilting when you're actually not. I, like you, have a pretty aggressive style, and while it might or might not be optimal at every juncture, it has made me a fair amount of money over the long run. On the other hand, when you're just getting owned, it's easy to look back and think you're a hopeless tilty LAG even when you're playing more or less the same way that you always do. If you're able to push a lot of 51:49 edges - and that's what you have to do to be a great 6-max player - it's possible to feel damned foolish after the coin is coming up tails a lot.

One reason that I've decided to concentrate on full games for the time being is that I think the *psychological* swings are a little bit easier to handle, even though the financial swings are just as bad or maybe a little worse.
