permatilt
In poker an extreme form of tilt that can be produced by taking an exceptionally bad beat. The implication is that a player receiving such a bad beat will be so emotionally disturbed that they will play recklessly for the rest of their lives (permanent + tilt). While no unambiguous examples of the phenomenon have ever been reported the term is frequently used to indicate extreme emotional distress at the poker table.
"I get all-in versus this donkey with AA and flop quads. He's playing The Kat and runner-runners his miracle cards to make a straight flush. I've been on permatilt ever since."

PGs
Slang abbreviation of "Poker Gods" (see also Poker-god) often used in poker forums. The Poker Gods are invoked by some players to explain runs of bad cards, bad luck or a bad beat. Unusual (low-probability) poker occurrences are frequently attributed to the behind-the-scenes acts and whims of the PGs.
"How did you do at Bellagio?"
"Fkn PGs were on my case again. Three sets cracked in 40 minutes."
"Maybe you shoulda sacrificed a puppy?"
