Another reminder not to take tilt out on your mouse
Lose a big pot, check. Smash your mouse, check. What else could go wrong after that?
Apologies to Fintan Hand but his misfortune during his WCOOP streams was particularly funny this week, in fact it seemed almost perfectly scripted.
It sucks to lose a big pot. It really sucks to then break your mouse when you react to losing the pot. How much worse could it get?
Well...
My first ever mouse smash.
Went well.

Vince Gilligan could not have scripted this better, what an unfortunate hand to be dealt the moment after you are rendered unable to move your cursor.
The hand is very much like this classic from AllinPav where essentially the same thing happened a few years ago...
lmao @ALLinPav I've never seen this clip before... 🙁
Hope -> Rage -> Confusion -> Shock -> Terror -> Helplessness

So yes, a reminder that perhaps it is probably +EV to invest in a stressball or two while you are on a downswing, rather than taking it out on your mouse.
Have you ever broke something on a downswing? Let us know in the comments:
