Loose after Loss?

It is just my imagination or do most players loosen up for a few hands after losing a significant pot and to a lesser extent after winning a significant pot? I seem to observe this a lot at micro limit online games. Comments please.

it's tilt, after losing people want to recoup

I believe you're right. I am lucky enough to very seldom get into any kind tilt mind set.
And I am guessing that those who loosen up after a win are feeling that they can take more risk now that there's more money in front of them.

Yes, you are right. After big lost I try stop the game, because I'll still spend more money. This is TILT.
