Winner's Tilt

Hi Guys,

Another form of tilt is Winner's Tilt. You may think, "How can you tilt when you're winning??". Look at this situation - You are on fire and playing well. You're getting hands and they are hitting hard. Next thing you know you're up 100BBs and life is beautiful. Then winner's tilt comes into play - but the scary thing about winner's tilt is that you don't even notice it! You find yourself playing marginal hands and pushing even the thinnest of edges because in your mind you' are thinking that you can afford to make that call. You are running hot anyways, right?. So if you don't hit (don't worry, you were behind the whole time anyways...), your stack starts to diminish. But it doesn't intimidate you! You're still having a winning session, right?
No, by making these poor decisions and losing these "small" pots you’re basically burning money. Getting a deep stack should allow you some different moves in your game, but not to somehow rationalize making bad decisions. It is time to stop....

Regards
