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."

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.

"Fkn PGs were on my case again. Three sets cracked in 40 minutes."

In Texas Hold 'em 'The Kat' is the starting hand 86-suited. Named after legendary online poker player TheGameKat who made the hand famous from 2003-2005 at PokerRoom. Subsequently 'The Kat Krew' adopted this hand as a totum. The four members of The Kat Krew have 86 tatoos. TheGameKat is 86 spades, Chenzilla is 86 hearts, chompy_jr is 86 diamonds, and linkocracy is 86 clubs.
I reraised on the button with The Kat, flopped the straight and cracked aces.
