Tilting is when you let your emotions take over in poker. You start making decisions based on your feelings instead of fact (your observations and knowledge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tilt clouds your judgement, and it\u2019s one of the most dangerous things a player can experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is because you’ll make a bad decision based on your emotions, likely resulting in a negative outcome, which will only make you tilt further and play even worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can quickly become a dangerous rabbit hole without\nan easy way out, so you should try to avoid it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As dangerous as tilt may be, there is no simple\nrecipe you can follow to avoid it completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everybody tilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the best players in the game you may have seen on TV playing in ridiculously high stakes cash games are subject to tilting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing that separates top players from the rest is the ability to concentrate on making decisions, rather than short-term outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you focus on your short term results, it doesn\u2019t matter how good you are, you will be tilting a lot. In fact, the better you play, the more likely you are to tilt when things don\u2019t go your way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This sensation is caused primarily by a sense\nof injustice. You did everything right and still lost the pot or busted the\ntournament. How can you not feel bad about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By understanding the harsh reality of the game, you can make things much easier for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
