Tilt is a state of being. This can look different depending on the person and the situation that caused it. Most times its mentioned its used to describe someone who is losing in the game or has had something bad happen and is now playing "bad poker". Sometimes you will see the person is angry or frustrated and playing too many hands and trying to make bad bluffs. Other times its when someone gets on a winning streak and also begins to play too many hands. This is because the person gets a feeling of being invincible and unable to lose.

Tilt is a state where youre unaware, playing badly like forcing your plays, etc. as a result of past bad beats and suckouts.

Signs would be entering many hands, bluffing, going up stake, fast decisions, etc.

It's when you stop to control myself and play as long as not to lose all that you have.

I always took it as you get pissed off, for whatever reason , and you are playing mad and making decisions and playing in a way you normally wouldn't when you were calm and thinking clearly.

Tilting is when an opponent catches a really lucky card like a 2-3 outer & U start getting mad & start to play really loose just to get back at that player.

According to google the definition is: a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggressive.

Tilting can result from a plethora of things like you losing a hand & another player teasing you, you having a,k vs aq and opponent catches a queen on the end for an all-in pot preflop.

Basically it is when U get mad & start to play bad & play cards based on getting lucky versus being skillful.

Short and sweet
Tilt = playing emotionally and not intelligently

Ok thank you for the example... I guess I've been guilty of this because I've tried to play bad cards in the past just in hopes of hitting it lucky on the flop to get back at the person who did it to me.

Nice descriptions of tilt over there.

If Im on tilt I start to search new methods of play and start loosing because of that. Sometimes I even go to Spin & Go or try SNGs instead MTT's (which I usually play well)

When the tilt is gone, I mostly see it on my bankroll.

Tilt is when you are playing anything but your "A GAME".. it doesn't only happen when there is a bad beat. Anything that makes you play in a way that you normally wouldn't, could be considered tilt.

Yes bad beats do TILT people, but that is not the only way people go on tilt. A good player knows that in the long run variance will eventually be on your side again. Also, as much as it sucks to lose to a 3 outer, they do hit and the cards owe you nothing. So you really shouldn't let bad beats tilt you.

You should take a break if you losing lot of money and tilting. Trust me, it's no good. In that state of mind, you're only gonna lose more and more.

It's when play becomes irrational and players make poor decisions. It can be started by a bad beat, losing a hand he thought he should have won, or anger at another player. They will play any rubbish hand and stay in a pot they should have folded. Do not go on tilt, it's your worst nightmare.

I guess that's where I need to focus my game on, I do get those feelings that the cards owe me and that I should be able to play just about anything like the last guy did.

Yeah I still deal with tilt myself too, even started a thread over in the Bad Beat and Brag section. I know what tilt is, and I know what causes it for me, but I still seem to fall under it's spell sometimes.

I think everyone goes on tilt to some degree. Some people just know how to control it better than others. This is also a important aspect of the game that needs to be worked on.
