The mental game of poker by jared tendler is a great book that helps with this sort of thing. Helped me a lot. I use to tilt like crazy.

It’s totally ok. But more you learn and understand that it’s random, you will see that a lot of times you are in the other side, winning a hand that you were not supposed to (try to see some winning ones as your opponent)...
It could help a bit!

This is what I want to control, not getting pissed when I get bad beat.

I just want to be relax all the way.

Does anyone besides me, have trouble controlling their emotions after having a bad beat. It really sucks, when I go on tilt. Play for 4or5 hours and blow your chips on a stupid call.

Believe that such situations are faced by any player who plays more or less regularly and repeatedly during the game session! We are real people, not robots! And sometimes it's a pity!

No, you are not alone. It's very hard for everyone to control their emotions after bad beats, especially as you said spending hours on the game and ending after stupid calls. If this happens once at the game I could control more or less, but more than once it just kills me.

Hello.
Bad beats is an integral part of the game. If you react emotionally to such things, then you are only reducing your chances of winning. You need to try to just make the right decisions, and not pay attention to temporary difficulties or failures.

Don't worry about the badbeat and be in control of your feelings as long as you are playing poker so always be prepared for the badbeat, If you are not in control of your feelings you will make a lot of mistakes and it can go on for several days (it happened with me) it is a normal thing in the game of poker and we will always suffer from it

The best thing to do is drink 1/2 gallon of coconut oil and just excrete your anger. If you do it this way, it will never come back.

Naturally, we all have varying degrees of control over our emotions. For all the time that I have been playing poker, I have become more restrained in emotions, began to try to distance myself from bad beats. One of the reasons for the restraint was a deeper study of the theory.

You are not the only person who is subject to emotion. For example, after a dubious river or combinations, I can scream strongly and hit the table with my hand out of anger:D

I have been fighting this for years, it is very difficult, but it has evolved a lot, you have to understand that we should not worry about what we cannot control!

Oh yes, this is a very familiar bad beat, and you put it on top and you lose. After that, emotions overwhelm the tin like ...

Study a little about self-control.
You will learn to channel this stress with some escapes, such as breathing control for example.
It works for me.
