I haven't gotten to the point of breaking things yet, but falling over is normal and a lot of swear words lol.

3 years ago I lost top set to rivered quads in the last 18 of the Sunday million which would have put my stack 20% over 2nd place and nearly guaranteed final table and possible highest pay day alas I needed a new laptop after that bad beat which barely covered what I got for finishing 18th

Nope, but I did tilt a lot when I first played. It takes years to become immune to the emotions of bad beats.

it's not good to get used to the bad - how many times are you willing to lose with AA vs. KK - I think your computer can suffer once

if I lost AA vs KK 1000 times in a row, I think I would melt my computer

I think a computer is something that's hard to have and it wouldn't make sense to do that. I have had bad times but not to that extreme.

I am not me have strong nerves
I am always emotionally prepared for both defeats and victories. I consider poker as entertainment and thanks to that I don't feel stress, anger or frustration. I have never broken anything under the influence of emotions. I can easily control my emotions because I always have a positive attitude :)

I avoid doing this because I'm the one who will have to pay later

This game tests our patience, nerves, thinking, tactics, nerves - I must say, good game and always use the best equipment, because every little thing counts !

No, I've never had fits of anger that made me break something. At most, I applaud with anger, that's all.

Who taught you to control yourself-it is a very good character trait

but you already know one of your friends who can't control themselves (I know many who break things in anger)

No fortunately never get to that stage, though I have slammed the mouse down onto the pad a few times after a particularly disgusting bad beat.

The arm of my computer desk chair tends to get a whack now as my hand comes down onto it in exasperation, but that's it, tilt over and on to the next hand - think that's better than bottling it up!

No, not worth it. If I was going to break anything, it's my streak of runner runner that benefits my opponents; they make their full house, or quads, making my flush or straight a loser.

I am not me have strong nerves
I am a disciplined player, patient and consistent. I follow bankroll management and therefore any financial losses are not a critical issue for me. I control my emotions easily and behave appropriately in any situation. I am surprised by people who, in a fit of emotion, break monitors or break a keyboard or mouse, I think such people have mental problems and can harm themselves and others.

it looks like you keep your anger to yourself - what is more important your health or your computer


I'm not saying that you need to break something, but you shouldn't keep your anger inside
