Do you know the origin of the expression Tilt?

Tilt - An expression that came out of the old pinball machines, when they were very sacudadas or inclined, if switched off and showed expressions on their screens.

This is very interesting, leading to the world of poker and the life and performance of the player, he is shaken or tilted, losing your emotional control and making your technical level drops due to a bad beat, a poorly bluff successful, an elimination in the final stretch of a MTT or other factors.

Note that the tilt is one of the major pitfalls for the poker player, because if we let ourselves take for this moment, thus losing our calm will certainly harm our technical knowledge as well as our profitability.
