Best Answer

1. It means someone who is in a state of confusion or frustration, in which they adopt an over aggressive strategy.

2. A player usually "goes on tilt" or "tilts" when he or she suffers a particularly damaging loss and begins playing to recoup the lost chips.

3. In Poker, a player is on tilt when that player is no longer playing in a calm, logical manner. Typically, a player goes on tilt after losing a large pot or suffering a bad beat. A poker player on tilt will lose his or her cool and play bad hands in long odds situations. This player can often be goaded into going all-in in a disadvantageous situation, or otherwise risk too much money on a lousy hand.

A good reference and possible source for the term is the 1989 paper "Going on tilt: Frequent poker players and control" from the Journal of Gambling Studies.
