When I lose a significant part of my roll (5-10% or so) I like to abuse my furniture. My bed is broken in two places, I have over 7 holes in the walls of my room, and now I installed a mattress against the wall so I can take the frustration out on it.


I channel all my aggression and negative energy into a controlled burst of Poker aggression and violence that I release during a heads up cash game. :f_biggrin:

I only get mad when i made the right move based on my reads, but my opponnent was on tilt and made my move incorrectly, unprofitable. So my opponnent screws up and im also fucked up. How can i deal with this crap? _confused:

its alright 90% of the time but sometimes on a killer downswing in a tourney that pays heaps I turn to swearing and saying "no" I like to use the words donk, slut and f**k. What effects me far worse is some maniac who jams every hand and you call with A10 and the have aces or kings.

Just remeber "The better player you are, the more bad beats you'll get"

I go round the street, find a couple of stray kittens and bury them alive.

Everyone's gotta have some sort of stress relief, right?

Right?

same here, and when I win too =/


Used to light up a cigarette, way long ago. So multitabling in a downswing = hotboxed room :P

Good thing I quit.

This post made my day no shit! I love it.
Im tillting alot, usually when I lose with AK all in like 3-4 times in 10 minutes (7-9table) then I start to play with A10 AJ AQ and going dead vs AA AK..usually, hit my legs (because if I hit the table it might get broke and my gf always scream if I hit the table hard...sigh...its not easy) and I cant hit the wall, they would collapse too fast (they arent brick).. Usually a bad beat makes my heart and lung (basically all my upper body) burn... in addition I quit smoking 3weeks ago, but I'd kill for a cigarette, still thinking of it everyday...
Ah and the classic, hitting the mouse (but im afraid I cant win so much on small stackes to get back the price of the daily mouse, so I just do it on a really bad beat:D)

This is what I love about bad beats, if someone else gets a bad beat on the table you can take advantage of them the next hand. Alot of players do like you after a bad beat. :)

I throw my Pokerstars anti-stress star against the wall.


take a deep breath, trow up, break some things and have a huge fag.
