I think that's funny. As of right now there have been some votes, but Tilt is still 0%....

Theres waaay too many tilt posts on here for this to be true....someones lyyyyinggg...

I chose "Overall lack of knowledge" because to me, it is the same thing as "all of the above".

[Dave H.]

Hi Vex,

I would certainly agree with that assessment!

[Bodhi]

Ok, I bit. Tilt is my #1 "issue" among the above choices. I like winning with great hands more than I like money, so a string of bad-beats can make me angry.

[Dave H.]

I tried to separate Tilt from Poor Discipline to force it to be a category of its own, but I suppose some lumped it into Poor Discipline and therefore chose that over Tilt.

[Dave H.]

We all thank you for your honesty. The poll is kind of useless without it.

"Faulty Reads" is the respectable big brother to "Tilt."

Why did I put the other guy all in when I had TPTK and there were 3 spades on the board? Because I was sure there was no way he had a flush. And even if he did, my push would surely represent to him that I had the nut flush.

Boy was I stunned when he called and showed down the A-high flush himself.

But was I on tilt? No sir, no sir, no sir.

show me a poker player who doesn't occasionally tilt and I will show you a true poker player! (one who lies,,,LOL)

I picked faulty reads because I seem to be blind to straights. I'll tell myself to look for straights and after a bit I will get blindsided by another one I didn't notice. Yesterday I had pocket Aces in limit HE and the flop came A87 rainbow. Turn was a Q and river a 4. No flush possible, I had the nuts and bet like it. Never even thought of a straight coming til it was flipped over.

Funny thing was that the very next hand the guy to my left had his trip aces busted by a flush on the river and 6 hands later another set of aces was busted by another straight on the river. Not a good stretch for aces.
