How do you adjust to players who are possibly on tilt?
I've seen multiple cases after players lose 1 or more big pots, they play suboptimally, whether it be calling too light pre or postflop, or get aggro with pure air or suboptimal range all of a sudden.
I try to rack up and leave when I see these signs happening to myself.
What are your adjustments toward possibly on tilt players? Treat them as normal until you see signs? Usually when you spot signs it's already too late, they already spewed off stacks and left. Sure occasionally they rebuy and spew off some more stacks but rare.
Do you call down lighter vs their aggression all of a sudden? Do you start barreling off for thinner value?
I've even seen guy had monster under the bed syndrome vs a lag, folding strong hands. This is even rarer.

I call lighter if they start spewing, note I don't call lighter just because somebody is visibly upset. I've seen enough regs who are just bad-tempered crybabies but don't really loosen up much, they just like to bitch and moan about how unfair everything is.
Don't assume someone tilts because of a bad beat or because they lost a big pot. Wait for signs they're playing worse, take note of the mistakes they're making, and then adjust accordingly.
Depending on the validity of their tilt and your read, expand your calling and value betting range, and decrease bluffing frequency.
