Tilt
An emotional state — frustration, anger, defeat — that makes you play worse than you know how to. The pre-committed rule (e.g. stand up after 3 lost hands in a row) is what protects every other edge you have.
Example
After losing a huge bad-beat, a tilted player will widen ranges, call too much, and bluff at the worst times.
