What's your reaction when you lose online ?

I'm more unlucky because of their mistakes when I drink

I swear (but not in the chat), angry, blaming everyone and everything ... already I broke 2 keyboard and mouse 4 ... and make a pause ... and when let off steam, gone mad - go play again, again and again

These days I don't really have a poker bankroll, so i don't really care when i lose as it's only ever for peanuts.

When I used to grind cash games, though, I'd get RAGETILT over losing streaks that had a certain pattern to them i.e one time I lost AA aipf 12 times in a row; I got so mad i put a ban on myself on all sites for 2 years. Not the first time I've put such lengthy bans on either; done my 'roll' many times and had to ban myself for long enough to get over the tilt.
Although even after all that time, just seeing the lobby again would bring the tilt back like it'd never gone away.

Took a shot at 5/10 once, playing way over my limit, managed to double up, then got into a pot where i had JJ on a J92 board. Got it all-in versus pocket 9s and a complete maniac on tilt who CALLED the two allins with A3o -- all three of us had double stacks. $6000 pot where i was like 95% to win. Board ran out 4...5...giving the tilting maniac a straight!
I lost my s**t on that one. Biggest pot of my life.
It still hurts...

First you gotta yell the good and old "this site is rigged" line, and when it's bad enough you might throw a couple punches at the wall, no big deal.

Good thing you had a CPU and just lost a keyboard, I punched my notebook and bye bye HD lol

I can only blame myself for stupid calls , and learn form that mistakes.Sometimes bad beat happens.. After all thats poker. I just sit back few moment's and chill.

Im nervous especially when after bad beat,..

I always streak in ACR... There will be nights where I can river every all in, then there is nights where I can't gain any respect and I get called by J6 unsuited all ins and they flop 2 pair vs my high pocket pairs.... It's nuts how the computer programs work sometimes! lol

I used to blame the sites, like all newbies do, then I blamed others for bad play then finally I got to the point where I could say I played bad , didn't watch the table enough or just played the best hand and it lost and walk away.

I'm stopping playing and make a break.

it is a total bummer

blame

i blame the river it is always the meanest card can ruin your day lol

If it's a significant pot, I bang my bed (because I play on my bed in the nursing home and don't want them to know I'm playing)...

If it's for my tournament life, I usually slam my netbook closed and slam it on my bed. Luckily my old man roommate is a zonked out sleeper at night (after 6-7pm lol)

I used to tilt a little more. I used to rant and rage at the screen like the person can hear me, if a cash game I might have started playing more aggro. Usually if it's a really bad beat I might curse a little about how stupid that person had to be to call with that junk. Or if I made a bad play I'll think about how dumb it was of me to make that play. Occasionally I might bang on my desk or throw a soft stress ball I sometimes hold when playing. But usually these days I just sigh, mumble a bit, look over the hand, and move on. I do still sometimes call them out in the chatbox if i can which is a bad habit I think.

Live I've only kind of said something stupid to the other person once, when they called me down to the river with K6 suited chased a 3 to the flush draw with me betting pot all the way down. I wasn't mean or rude but he said something like "well you only bet X, I mean i might as well see" and I said something like "I guess calling pot on every street is great odds for you."

I'm more reserved live but I think because I quickly get rapport with the players that are either bad but friendly regs or grinders who get the game and we kind of have an understanding of when one another gets donked on and can share a laugh. The donk doesn't usually notice or care.

But yeah online I find it still harder to keep totally cool and focused it's much easier live to take a step back and get refocused. I sometimes let the chat box distract me online. I also hate leaving when down but will shut it down for the session if it's clear i'm just not playing well regardless of how much up or down.

hahahahha, thats what I was thinking to post, its exacly how i feel when I lose with a premiun hand haahah

It is sad but to be a winner you need to acept these moments

Getting run over by a maniac who is raising and reraising all in with garbage hands but you only have A high and.can't call what he may have hit. Waiting patiently to trap with something strong. Finally AK or something playable and flop comes A92, shove all-in to lose to his 92o. Not fun. It seems at times like the fish get rewarded hand after hand catching way more than 30% of the flops sometimes. But just walk away and come back fresh later.

I feel the algorithm likes to reward dumb play.

Oh well, on to the next hand, I always win in the end

Ok, in reality sometimes a few choice curse words and an unlucky mouse or two might get smashed. Never anything expensive though.

only anger at myself that I couldn't better

A tear drops from my eye every time I get it in with AA vs KK and a K hits the flop.

if I lose with a very good hand, I can`t keep my anger

The first 100 th times I blamed everything, then I realized the probalities are always the probalities. I mean if you have even 0,01% against you, it is for sure that you can loose. I must be 100 % to bet especially all in.

you dont win everyday but

you dont win everyday but sometimes is rediculous they call with nothing and the won with flush,straight,straight flush but never stop learning keep it goin guys
