Default The opposite of tilt

Every book, every DVD, and every website giving advice about poker talks about going on tilt. Everyone talks about the dangers of playing badly after loosing a hand or making a mistake.

I sometimes have a similar but opposite problem in that I play badly after winning a big hand or making a killer read. I feel invulnerable. I feel I can do no wrong, so I play looser, over-value my cards and end up handing back those winnings.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I deal with it much the same as going on tilt. Just recognizing that it happens and conciously working to stop it and taking a small break from the action if need be have really helped.

Just tought I'd ask as tilt seems to be universal, while the opposite of tilt seems much more rare.
