I think the 'better' indicator is my attitude. Today like I said I lost $1k. Pretty brutal... I never ONCE yelled, cussed, hit anything etc. I said a lot of "Wow... Damn this seat sucks... Well at least I didn't shove" and that type. There were two or three hands I felt like an idiot after, but for the most part I KNEW i was just having some really shitty luck, it wasn't a hand I thought I would look back at and be upset about my play in.
Tho I am still human and still obviously prone to tilt, I truly think I'm doing much better at getting mad only when I play bad and not when I am just a victim of variance.
And about the whole "my ev was up" thing, yeah you're right.. I know for example, 1 - 2 weeks ago I made $1k in only 3 hours and my EV was somewhere around +850. I was excited and happy, BUT I knew full well that even though my EV was so high, I hit a lot of draws, didn't remember my QQ+ running into ANY sets and when the scare cards hit on the river, they didn't have it... So on the surface it might have just looked like "Hey best hand won" I was just getting spoiled, my "best hand' ALWAYS won, and THAT in a way is sucking out as well.
I think you just have to get a general feeling if you are seeing your opponents make mistakes that you don't think you would do if the cards and positions were switched, or if you see them just getting unlucky losing with AQ to your AA on a AQ3 board and that kind of thing that you would have lost to as well in their shoes.
