In this article, Dave Roemer shares the three poker phrases he feels are frustratingly misused, and why they are so commonly misunderstood.

In this article, Pete Clarke breaks down six types of tilter you’ll often see at the poker table.

“We all tilt to some extent but understanding which of the following profiles you fit into could help you diagnose and improve your own tilt,” he writes. “The question is not whether we tilt. But how we do it, and how we reduce it.”
