Usually poker tilts happen right after some very drastic things at the poker table. For example, someone bluffed a person with a very funny hand. The bluffed one needs to compensate this mistake with proving himself/herself to be corageous and starts acting in a more aggressive and risky manner. Surely poker is about risk – risk is part of this game – but risk must be triggered by mind and intuition, NOT by emotions.

The rule of a thumb with poker tilts is to say a simple brain-clearing phrase "I do not need to prove anything. I am here to play and win" – or something like this. This phrase must eradicate childish emotions and get you back to the beauty of the game; with its risk, bluffs, psychological and mind tricks. Don’t forget that putting you on tilt may be someone’s tactics. Are you a fish to gulp the bait?

Recently tilt poker is quite often mentioned when talking about Full Tilt Poker – very popular online poker room. Full tilt here might be standing for the emotional elevation that makes every member to feel very special about playing there. The place of real risk and emotions.
