Tilt is a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a suboptimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming overly aggressive.

Introducing an opponent to tilt, or dealing with one's own tilt, is an important aspect of poker. Tilt is a relatively common phenomenon that mostly occurs due to frustration, anger at other players, or failure.

A possible origin of the word "tilt" may be a reference to the tilt (tilt) of a pinball machine. The frustration of not getting the ball to the legs (flippers) of a pinball machine may cause a player to physically tilt the machine to guide the ball to the legs. However, this will cause the word "tilt" to flash in some games and cause the paws to stop working, causing the ball to return to its original position. As in poker, this situation causes anger due to frustration and leads to detrimental effects on playing skills.

Originally, the term "tilt" referred to poker, but recently it has become a common term in other games as well, especially in chess and cybersports. Tilt in cybersports causes players to "lose control due to anger"
