tilt insurance

When you know the action you are about to take is wrong, but you have to do it anyway because if you would have been right the result is much, much worse than if you were not.

I called the bet on the river with my flush even though the board had paired and there was a bet/raise to me. I had to pay my tilt insurance because if I lost this pot by folding to a worse hand I would have killed myself
