To be honest, I had such thoughts more than once...
If you break your phone or computer, it won't change anything...
I don't worry so much about failure in poker.
Playing in a casino sometimes annoys me.Nerves are running low..
13 red how can it be? There were 13 reds in a row .Sometimes you want to break not only your phone and computer, but something else

It's a question that I certainly wouldn't ask, as long as aggressive gestures can't be controlled, I don't think there's any point in anyone playing these games of chance.

I've already seen and experienced so much in my career as a poker player that I'm slowly getting used to the fact that it's normal and losses happen when I have a 99% chance of winning

I am not me have strong nerves
I never get angry because of the game. For me, poker is fun and so despite the fact that I, like most of us, have bad days, I still keep calm and positive thinking. I'm used to being careful with my equipment and I've never broken anything out of anger or on purpose :)

what would you say if you had to put your last dollar on the line and your whole life depended on winning or losing and your children were starving or wouldn't you be angry

If every time you break something. You will eventually run out of things to break.

The worst I've ever done was throw my mouse across the room but that was a long time ago. I've learned to handle variance much better over the years, it's a part of the game you will have to accept.

Long ago i once hit my monitor with my fist. Also multiple times my table and at some point that fist started to hurt because my table was very hard.

Sometime I have closed the laptop, slamming the damm thing into the table when I suddenly was out of the tournament with my two aces. But I never broke anything.
