I read somewhere about the type of tilt where if you are winning big your game degrades and you either
A - really start protecting winnings and playing not A game
B - start splashing chips around

And I suddenly realized I had A type tilt. I am playing NL50 and sitting with $250 and things are just awesome and I am happy and then I played this hand real real bad and realized this is happy tilt (or whatever the correct name is for this type of behavior)

UTG ($50)
UTG+1 ($108.15)
Hero (CO) ($251.65)
BTN ($133.50)
SB ($41)
BB ($71.25)

Pre-Flop: ($1.35, 6 players) Hero is CO K♣ K♥
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, SB calls $1.75, BB calls $1.50

Flop: 2♠ Q♣ 2♦ ($6.60, 3 players)
SB checks, BB bets $2.50, Hero raises to $7.50, SB folds, BB calls $5

Turn: 9♠ ($21.60, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $10, BB calls $10

River: 5♠ ($41.60, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Final Pot: $41.60

I was like well he might be slowplaying 2 with that strange flop play or he could have hit the flush so I just check river back :f_mad:
Now I realized I did this to protect the winnings -
and looking back it is like wtf is that small turn bet and river check.

Have you guys also encountered this?
