Mental glitches...FPS, Tilt. What else?
 
What other poker ailments, or I like to call them mental glitches, regularly affect poker players? It seems to me that most everything negative that players inadvertently project in reaction to a negative event would derive from Tilt if you consider that term to simply describe poor play. Hmmmm...what do you guys think?

I always associated Tilt with rage, anger, or frustration that can spawns for a particular event e.g. a bad beat, players comment. I would put fatigue and wrestlessness in different categories.

'Make-up syndrome'. In other words, watching the bankroll too much rather than playing the cards & players. My main problem is having had a losing session, trying too hard (i.e. playing too aggressively, bluffing too much) to make the money back in a short space of time that I lost in a short space of time. I think this is one of the major, lesser-understood causes of downswings over a semi-long period of time.
