on tilt
"
On tilt" is a poker term used to describe someone who is letting their luck affect the way they play. For example, if someone has lost a bunch of hands in a row he or she might start playing recklessly to try to
make up for it. Also, if a player has won many hands in a row, they might start to play differently as well. This playing out-of-line
so to speak is called playing "
on tilt."

Usually a term in video games (though it can really be used in any activity or hobby),
tilt is an emotional state when doing the exact same thing activity over and over produces negative results. It's an
emotional breakdown and
fustration of your hard work not resulting in the success that you crave so desperately. When you or someone is in a tilt state of mind, the best thing to do is take a break from that activity and try not to think about it as much.
Example:
Phage: Dude I lost a lot of Ranked games in League of Legends and it's all my
stupid noob teammates' faults.
Sheen: Dude you're
on tilt. Take a break from League for a bit man.
