Default High Stakes regulars Confess!

How often to the well known highstakes players on this board tilt. OBV you got guys like Kurosh, however I'm wondering more about guys like Flawless, Strasser, bruiser, bk, schnieds, ect...

I catch myself making a few bad call downs maybe once every month or two and then quit the session. Is that tilt? Sure. But momentarily and controlled.

Probably once a month I'll find myself playing a lot worse than usual. I keep playing, which is a leak of mine. I am not sure if this is enough to make me -EV in games, but I certainly have had some righteous bouts with variance when playing this way. It has nothing to do with bad beats or anything like that, though. It is usually brought on by making one bad play and being mad at myself. Something I'm working on, for sure.

As far as tilting retardedly, I probably have once in the last 2 years or so, but it was this year.

A lot of times I can feel that it's possible I will tilt in the future, so I tighten up a bit to relax and focus, if the game is good enough. If I ever make a play that I felt was tilt-fueled, then I just shut down the computer immediately after and call it a day. I think this happens about once a month.

Maybe this is a form of tilting too, quitting when I am in a great game and playing perfectly fine but frustrated about getting turned/rivered in enormous pots? I do that often and just did it two seconds ago.
