What is Tilt in Poker?
Tilt is the term used to describe being angry while at the poker table. A tilted player often makes questionable decisions since intense emotion has the ability to shut down the more rational side of our brain. Although primarily associated with anger, bad decisions made as a result of other emotions such as fear, boredom and tiredness may also be described as tilt. The expression “on tilt” is frequently used to indicate that a player is tilted.

What is Three of a kind in Poker?
Three of a Kind is made when we hold three cards of identical rank. The strength of our three of a kind is determined by it’s rank value where Aces are high. This leaves room for two kickers in regular poker variants that use 5-card hands. Three of a Kind beats two-pair but loses to a straight. Three of a Kind is also frequently referred to as a ‘set’ (when made with a pocket-pair) or ‘trips’ (when two of the cards are on the board).
What Is a Three-Bet in Poker and How to Incorporate It into Your Game Strategy!
Three-bet (or 3bet)is the third bet (or second raise) in a betting sequence. There is a bet (1bet), a raise (2bet), and a re-raise which is the 3bet. It’s worth remembering that in games with blinds, the first bet on the first betting round is always the blind post, which is why a re-raise against a open-raise is known as a 3bet and not a 2bet.
