Frenzy

Frenzy is a type of play marked by bad, aggressive play that often results in defeat. It was coined by Mark Newhouse who blamed his frenzy play habits for many of his losses.

"After losing four hands in a row, Joe went into a frenzy and his bad playing has him busted in less than an hour."
