"Tilt" means you're no longer rational about the game, no longer in control of yourself. People get this way when they lose enough money that they get scared, then they do stupid things to get it back.
People also do this when they let other things in their life interfere with the game. One Saturday night, I got a call from a young lady I was seeing that really set me off. I went back to the table and continued to play, still ticked. I was throwing money around until I noticed my stack (the amount I had on the table) was getting low and tried to figure out how that happened. Needless to say, I figured it out. Calmed down after a smoke and a shot. (Yep, that'd be what you call 'self medicating'. Don't do that kids, you are not qualified to treat your own problems.
)
I was using the way I speak when I said 'trip kings'. It just means Three of a Kind, Kings. That'd be a nice strong hand in a five- or seven-card game played 'straight up', but not one with wilds.
I was once dealt a Straight Flush to the King natural. Unfortunately it was in a quirky seven card draw game we call Anaconda, Pass the Trash, or That F**king Game. In this game you start out with seven cards and pass, to your left, three, then two, then one, with rounds of betting at all the predictable intervals. This means you do not get to keep five cards out of the seven you are dealt... That's the closest I've been to a natural Royal.
I've never played agaisnt family, as my parents ans sister are fairly puritan. I have played agaisnt my friend's family, however. Some nights it's just me and a table full of Junglings.
