Why do people get mad at their money?

Until now, I've never ever seen tilt used in a sentence to refer to someone who has "gone into a shell" in response to bad a beat. Tilt is generally used in a more specific context to refer to someone that not only starts making -EV plays, but also exhibits loose, wild, reckless behavior. (Since you all wanted to split semantical hairs here...)

Was my earlier response confusing?

Playing too tight is a form of Tilt as well as while on a winning streak "playing the rush" is.

Tilt means that circumstances effect your play in an unprofitable way. So if you play less hands than you should from bad beats you are on tilt and losing money in the long run from it.

Granted looser play is the most common example but it is not the only example of tilt.
