Poker Tilt

Poker Tilt (tilting) is the act letting your emotion affect your play. This usually happens after you suffer a bad beat. I've seen many players lose big chunks of their bankroll while on tilt. The easiest way to avoid tilt is being able to recognize when your game weakens. This take hours of practice but will help you save a lot of money. If you feel that you are letting your emotions control your game get away from the table. For some it takes 5 minutes but for others it can take hours or days. Just keep in mind that there will always be a poker game so be patient and control your emotions.
