It's definitely tilt out of boredom. And in my case, it worsens with mental fatigue when I play for many hours.
I think revenge in poker is a lot of nonsense, it doesn't make any sense to me. Obviously, losing is very frustrating, especially when you have a much better hand, but the other player is participating in the same tournament, with the same hand as you, subject to the same rules. Why would I have any sense of vengeance? It doesn't make sense.

For me it's definitely revenge tilt. When someone sucks out on me, I start focusing too much on getting back at them instead of just making the best decisions. Boredom tilt happens too, but it’s easier to control by just taking a break. Curious to see what others experience.

What stresses me out the most is the time spent on the game if I wasted it fruitlessly. Then I feel guilty that I spent several hours on the game and didn't win anything, when I could have done something really useful.

I'm mostly annoyed when I lose coin flip after coin flip after coin flip and when nothing goes my was. Also, those situations where I get it all in good and they get lucky on the river- really tilt me. Having AA cracked by KK or KK cracked by QQ- really makes me forget everything about strategy and play really bad. I try to take a break, walk outside and clear my head. But some bad beats still drain a lot of my energy and it takes a lot of work to keep my composure and continue playing well.

When I play 2 or 3 tables, I don't feel the time, being left with one. That's when boredom starts to hit me, when that's the case, I get up to do a little exercise, but I'm always attentive to see what cards come my way.

I completely agree with you. For many players, tilt comes from boredom and mental fatigue more than anything else. After long hours, focus drops and even normal losses can feel bigger and more frustrating, which naturally leads to worse decisions.
And I see it the same way regarding revenge in poker. It really does not make sense. When someone cracks your strong hand, it is not personal. They are just another player operating under the same rules, taking the same risks, and experiencing the same variance. There is nothing to avenge.

Anger tilt, most likely. It often happens that in a large tournament with a large number of people, you get far ahead and get all-in preflop with AK against 8-6 for the chip stack and lose. At that moment, your mouse might fly into the wall. Over time, you get used to it and try to ignore it.

I have no tilt nowadays . I control it 100% . In the far past I used to have my tilty moments , when rng was fun**ing my odds to win , when I was losing money and I was trying to get back the losses . Those days I had no such big problem with tilt , it was part of [h| game , or even part of the fun . But nowadays I cannot tolerate tilt , I want to play poker in peace , relaxed .

For me it’s definitely a mix of frustration tilt and revenge tilt.
Not because I want to “get back” at someone, but because after a long grind a single unlucky river can feel way bigger than it actually is. That’s usually the moment when I remind myself to breathe, take a short break, and come back only when my head is clear otherwise I just donate chips.

I've been playing for a long time and I understand that moving to poker is part of the game, but sometimes it accumulates and the negativity turns around, you just need to realize that 99 percent to win is not 100 percent and
