Have you experienced losing streaks at the poker table which left you frustrated, irrational and angry? This is known as going 'on tilt' in casino terms.

Taking a break and calming down with a drink or snack helps bring back rational thinking. Let's share our stories of going 'on tilt', strategies we adopt to recover and crack jokes to lighten the mood.
