Tilt is a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming over-aggressive. This term is closely associated with steam and some consider the terms equivalent, but 'steam' typically carries more anger and intensity.〔(Steam definition )〕 Placing an opponent on tilt or dealing with being on tilt oneself is an important aspect of poker. 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. The most likely origin of the word "tilt" is as a reference to tilting a pinball machine. The frustration from seeing the ball follow a path towards the gap between the flippers can lead to the player physically tilting the machine in an attempt to guide the ball towards the flippers. However, in doing so, some games will flash the word "TILT" and freeze the flippers, causing the ball to be lost for certain. The metaphor here being over-aggression due to frustration leads to severely detrimental gameplay.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pokerterms.com/tilt.html )〕 == Being “on tilt” == The most common way to "tilt" is losing, often a recent victim of a bad beat, or being defeated in a particularly public and humiliating fashion. For example: # Folding to a large bet only to have your opponent turn over a poor hand (being shown a bluff). # Being bluffed by a small bet (a post oak bluff). # Having an opponent “suck out,” or catch a miracle card late in the hand (an unlikely out-draw). # Having what you think is a dominating hand bested by an unexpected more powerful hand. # Standing up to an overly aggressive player who plays nearly every pot but encounters a big hand. # Having an all-in showdown with a strongly superior hand pre-flop and losing. # In online Poker, putting a lot of money into the pot with the likely best hand, and being forced to fold the hand due to internet connection failure or software crash. # Making a bad play and realizing it afterward # Misclicking in online poker and losing a big pot as a result (like clicking call instead of fold to an all-in) # Losing a few hands in a short period of time with hands that are statistically around 50% to win (often called a “race”, such as two high cards vs a lower pair.) The tilting player may complain that he or she "never wins races". These can upset the mental equilibrium essential for optimal poker judgment. Another common way to tilt is from bad behavior of the others at the poker table. Excessive rudeness (or lewdness), being heavily intoxicated at the table, and poor table etiquette are ways that players can wear on nerves. Though not as commonly acknowledged or discussed, it is also quite possible to go on "winner's tilt" as a result of a ''positive'' trigger: such as winning a hand unexpectedly, being awarded a large pot, or making the money in a tournament. Strong positive emotions can be just as dizzying and detrimental to one's play as negative ones. "Winner's tilt" can be just as dangerous as the more traditional form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tilt (poker)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
