"on tilt"

wha does being "on tilt" mean? i have a feeling it's a negative term...

Use the search feature, type in tilt, i'm sure a thread will be able to explaine it better than me.

It's the state of mind you are in after a bad beat if you can't recompose lucidity (that translates into reckless play that usually turns out very badly)

12-18-07-Tip of the day: Lets talk about TILT.
This is one of the worst things that can happen to a poker player. Yet it happens to all of us. You loose three or four big hands that you though you were going to win. Players are winning your chips on the river card. All of A sudden your game plan is gone and you start to play any hand you get. You are mad, frustrated, you want to get even. This is when you are on TILT. When this happens you are going to lose more cips if you keep playing, your mind set is to get even and it is not on the game at hand. What to do when this happens sit out a couple of hands, get a snack, leave the table until you calm down. I don't think anyone can explain why this happens but it does.
