"There is no more destructive force in poker than tilt. The term tilt comes from the pinball world originally. When you picked up the pinball machine, or shook it violently, throwing the machine off its equilibrium, it would register tilt and shut down. In poker, tilt is the general term for any time you are very frustrated and not playing well. "
