What does this mean, I can't tell if it's a poker term or keyboard term

"without tilting"

Going “on tilt” is when you make emotional decisions because you are chasing the wins or running from the losses.

Thanks! Makes sense. Looks specific to poker but I can see it easily applying to other parts of life too

I suppose things like succumbing to the sunken cost fallacy would count?

It's a common term in online video gaming as well
