After a bad loss

A loss changes how you feel, not the odds of what comes next. Keep the next decision as good as the last.

Tilt is playing worse after a painful loss: calling to win it back, playing hands you would fold, or betting out of anger. The deck is shuffled again before every hand, so a loss changes nothing about the next hand's odds. It only changes how you feel, and that is what tilt works on.
