From time to time even the best of us tilt away some of our hard earned money. In this column I present you with the following list of 10 surefire signs that you have gone on tilt –- and I don’t mean the sorta funny tilt, where you punch a wall or throw a drink across the room; I’m talking about full blown life-tilt where you wonder how late the gun store is open until.
Anyone who has played a good amount of poker will have found themselves in at least one of these situations:
#1 – Even when you win a pot you decide to give the chips to another player at the table to save the dealer the time and effort of doing it in a hand or two.
#2 – You privately give each player at the table a colorful nick-name –with a wonderful infusion of adjectives- after each beat you suffer.
#3 –You start addressing the players at the table with the colorful nicknames you previously applied to them, and lo and behold the nick-names have grown in size and potency!
#4 – Your current interpretation of playing within your bankroll is using every last nickel you have to buy-in short to the biggest game spread in the casino.
#5 – You feel starting hands can’t be as important as people say: After all there are still 5 cards coming, what’s the big deal about the first two?
#6 –A casino employee casually drops a gamblers anonymous card in front of you.
#7 – You don’t even bother to put your bank card back in your wallet, and simply leave it on the table for easy access.
#8 – You have a sneaky suspicion you might be dead, since a beating this cruel and unusual could only take place at the hands of the Devil himself: And nobody in their right mind would come back for more when they could simply get up and leave!
#9 – You wish you were dead, since even the Devil himself wouldn’t give you a beating this cruel and unusual.
#10 – You begin speaking in an unintelligible language that you secretly dub Cursive: similar to the writing style, it has a nice flow to it; and the only notable difference from English is it contains nothing but curse words (some of which you have just invented).
