Also your logic is awful, its human nature to get upset/get mad when you lose money, does that mean tilting is fine as well? You want to avoid situations that hinder your progress, and looking at your results every session is something that is avoidable. There is no one that knowingly drops 10bi's in a session and plays their best in the next session. I will know that i am down but its much easier to put it out of your mind when you didnt just PT4 graph the session and see the line go straight down to $1445 or w/e it is.
Everybody has some form of tilt. Everybody. Some are subtle, such as calling a spot where you'd normally raise or folding a hand you'd normally defend with. Some are massive, such as going on insane monkey tilt and jumping to 1000nl. The best a person can do is limit their tilt. Michael Jordan had off games. Tom Brady has off games. The manager down at your local starbucks has off shifts. These are all tilt, just in different aspects of life. If you don't have any sort of tilt, then you are a robot and you probably won't have fun playing the game; it'll seem more like a mundane 9-5 job.
I can also say that OP didn't look at his PT4 from his last session because that's impossible to do on the site that he plays on. Also from the same site, it's impossible to not look at your BR because you have to manually top off your stack. That shows you your BR every time you do it.
I personally witnessed one of his sessions last night. I can verify that he played fine despite being down a few buy-ins. His thought process didn't change; he ran into a few really gross spots (ie, TPTK in a 3bet pot, x/r on QT4 flop, turn is a 4 and villain shows up with 42).
