Control your tilt.
Tilt is a poker term for a state of mental frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy for play, usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggressive and losing money.
It is a relatively frequent occurrence due to frustration, animosity against other players, or simply bad luck.
Experienced players recommend learning to recognize that one is experiencing tilt and avoid allowing it to influence one’s play.
