"Hi, I'm Black Jack, and I'm here to talk about what it means to be going full tilt in poker. Well, as you may have guessed, playing poker is somewhat of an emotional game. There's good spots and bad spots, and sometimes in poker, you may have a run of bad luck or bad beat, as they say in poker. And sometimes, people will let their emotions get the best of them. They'll be playing along and they'll be going full tilt, and they'll just start betting crazy. A lot of it happens when they lose or having a bad beat or, again, letting their emotions get the best of them. You kind of want to watch that. If you see some person doing that, take notice of it. Maybe you can make some money off it, but you want to kind of stay away from guys like that because they'll be betting crazy, you don't know what's going to happen in your game, and it does throw the odds off a little bit. If it happens to you, you have a bad beat, you get all fired up and you're playing full tilt, all I can tell you -- best bet at that point -- is maybe you should take a break and walk away from the table for a little while. You don't want to be betting crazy. You don't want to let your emotions bet and have the better of you when you're playing cards. Remember, it should be fun. You should be enjoying it. And don't be betting full tilt because it's a crazy way of playing cards and you won't have any fun, and you'll lose a lot of money."
