It depends on a number of factors...live or online...time: how late is it and how long did I play...availability of a new tournament or cash game immediately.

None of the three, I just get out of my chair angry, then I calm down thinking that, most of the time it's my fault to lose all the chips, and other times I don't, having a good hand, in the end I end up losing, it's because it doesn't favor luck.

None of those options, I get angry and sweat at everyone.

I'd probably curse and hit the desk, not too hard because is made of glass

None of the above, I don't play poker to make myself angry or when I am in a bad mood.

Please choose two options - laugh and sit in silence.

Stringy · Jun 25, 2026

laugh cry and think about throwing my phone but just wait for the next game instead

moraeskvmi · Jun 25, 2026

all of the above!

Laughter, but not the good kind.
Then you just accept that this has happened so many times before, and that there will be many more times like this. There's nothing else you can do anyway.

I get so many of them I just roll my eyes and take it in stride. I actually expect to lose most/all hands where I start out way ahead in the odds. I may play another game if I have time or I may just call it a day.

Really depends,how bad did I play the hand,I find it is not a bad beat but I played the hand wrong,unless you have aces,kings or another premium hand and end up all-in pre-flop against say 67,45 those types of hands I consider those bad beats,but if I have a premium hand and get called by a pocket pair or KQ those types of hands I consider it just poker no guarantee's ,we all pray for that type of action ,understand the donk plays in freerolls but never been able to get my head around the player's that put their own money in ,in the same situations in cash games and tournaments,never had that much throw away money to ever play like that

My option: make yourself a cup of tea.
