Default The opposite of tilt

So it's common advice to stop playing when you're on tilt...but what if you're NOT playing and you realize you're really sharp and your mind is clear and you're in a great mood...why not stop whatever you were doing to make time for poker and take advantage of this maximum EV opportunity?

Sounds goot to me.

I often do very well when I'm not really planning on playing and just sit down out of the blue and play and rake it in. I wonder what that's about?

Day after I had just seen my mother alive for what I knew was going to be the last time I cashed for over $1k in a tourney for the first time. That was live at the local dog track down here, later on that night I had one of my best nights ever online. Emotionally distraught but yet played the best poker ever of my whole life.

Wierd to say the least.
