To Tilt or not to Tilt

RSS / Editor / 26 September 2007 / Leave a comment

On the Betfair Forums, littlesanith wants to know what "tilt" means.

The answer soon comes via canaryboy, who is certain enough of his point to make it twice.

Says he: "When a poker players let their emotions could their poker judgement, it's called going 'on tilt'. Often, when a player suffers a bad beat or a losing streak, they will go 'on tilt'."

And then realising that he has jumped in to fast without checking his spelling, he writes: "When a poker player lets their emotions cloud their poker judgement, it's called going 'on tilt'. Often, when a player suffers a bad beat or a losing streak, they will go 'on tilt'."

The danger is clear - never go in too early and rashly. Consider your options and don't make the same mistakes twice...

(Anyone want a poker glossary - you can help to write it?)
