What do you do when you lose a game or tournament.

I just read about a player slamming the mouse into the wall when he looses.

Do you do something like that?

I myself takes the power from the laptop and slam the computer into the table.

Normally I just move on to the next game or next activity I had planned. If the loss upsets me in some way & if I don't have some other pressing activity planned, I stop playing & try to analyze what upset me & if some decision I made may have led to the result.

depends on mood. but in any case I try not to break anything. anger does not help play better.

Ananke222 · Mar 4, 2019

nothing-just relax and enjoy the game
and in most cases I start winning if I stay calm

i usually jump into another, unless my emotions are getting the better of me, from getting knocked out deep right b4 money gets good bye a better full house cus he had pockets i couldnt foresee( sorry that just happened to me 5 min ago) then i like to go play chess or something that completely takes my full attention for a while. that way i dont even have time to think about it n after an hr or so not thinking about it u can learn from it. :wavey:

Keep going

After losing I keep on going. Unless, ofcouse I am broke or have
Somewhere else to be

First thing I do is say

"!*#£$%@'#?~$%!"

Then

"Oh Well!"

Drink a cup of tea... Enroll in next MTT

I try and analyze the hand that led to my demise in the tournament. If I played the hand well I move on to the next one. If I played poorly I try and learn from my mistakes as to not repeat them. Breaking stuff is more expensive than losing a few bucks in a game.

I close the poker client and go to do other things. It makes no sense to break things because of a loss. Poker is just a game.

I move on to the next cash game or Tournament. There is always a new game to play.

(Meditation chant that's surprisingly effective for me.)

I get so many bad beats that I'm pretty much void of any emotions after my AA loses yet again to 33 or some equally unlikely hand, and since I never risk any of my own money, keeping any anger in check is much easier. Without exaggeration, I get beat about 80% of the time when I dominate the other player all-in. It's the weirdest thing, but it's been happening like that for years at PS. I have no trust in the integrity of Pokerstars, but since I'm risking nothing and know very questionable dealing algorithms are involved, I just laugh off the amazing string of bad beats and wait for the next opportunity to get screwed.

see if there is anything to learn from my loss , what mistakes i have done and what induced me to do such things and if i am a little tilted about the loss i close the client and do something else , there is no point to play when tilted since you wont be concentrated to play your A game and would finish bleeding your bankroll.

I've seen more experienced players that set the window to close alone and avoid stress when you lose a tournament. In my case, there are two possibilities: analyze my hands or close the program to do another thing.

Anders1616 · Mar 5, 2019

You need to be careful when you releases you anger not to damage any of your equipment.
It has to be ready for the next game.

Self evaluation immediately. Review the hands that gave me problems and realize when and why take wrong decisions...

milka1605 · Mar 5, 2019

Just taking a break in the hope that the next time the game will be better.

Comboss599 · Mar 5, 2019

When I started playing poker it was something horrible loose tournament i was very nervous on that time. It was ending with broken keyboard even

Now nothing can get me upset even if i loose very quick.

TeUnit · Mar 5, 2019

just load another one and keep moving

Datdude1 · Mar 5, 2019

After I lose a tournament I replay the game in my head and make an assessment of my game. If I played well I move onto the next one, if I played poorly I try to figure out a way to play better before the next tournament.

Turn poker and go for a walk if the weather is bad, you watch a movie

John bruce · Mar 5, 2019

I jump into the next one.

godblessiraq · Mar 6, 2019

Depending on the blinds, I rebuy.

Barbarrossa · Mar 6, 2019

As often as I lose I feel the question here is what do you do when you win a tourney.. My response to that is.. When I win I will let you know!!

Ah but seriously it depends on how upset I am. I've closed it down and put on a movie.. played a game.. stuff like that. If I'm in a foul mood I find it can get expensive(relatively speaking) rebuys on tilt are truly not the way to go. Usually a short break to reset is the path I choose.

An interesting question, what do you do when you win a tournament?

I myself go and find my one and only poker buddy and tell him about my good luck.

tauri103 · Mar 7, 2019

of course it tends to get on my nerves at the beginning. but after that, the first question that I ask myself, did I play well? what are the mistakes I made? What can I do to succeed in achieving my goal? if i realize that i have nothing to blame myself then i run a cash game assignment.by cons when i do not play at my A game i try to fix my mistakes by watching more videos on youtube or on twitch he must constantly work his game to improve his chances of winning poker.
