The easiest way to Tilt is to play poker when you are emotionally down. If care is not taken, you would run down your bankroll. That's because at that point, the player is more emotional than logical in decision making.

It is very important for players to consider their emotional stability before going to the table to play but if playing poker can help you unwind and relax, there's nothing wrong in playing poker when you’re emotionally down

I try not to but sometimes I do it anyway, which is usually a mistake. When I'm upset or stressed, I make terrible decisions and chase losses. I've learned that poker when you're emotional is just burning money. Now I try to take a break and come back when I'm in a better headspace.
