Have you ever broken your computer or phone because you lost a poker game?

maronza1 · Nov 9, 2023

I have never done that and never will, what i have done multiple times was to uninstall poker for some days and download it back when i feel better. If poker can cause that to you its high time you quit it. Just imagine destroying your phone or computer for losing, an item which might be worth more than the buy in of the game you are playing, thats will be insane.

It made me laugh when I once deleted the game, there was the inscription “Until we meet again” (I then thought how do they know this?)

Great question! Yes, I have broken my phone and a tablet…. I should send the bill to the poker site! For rewarding donkeys and suck outs lol

I don't understand... why would you break your computer after winning the hand

When I get a bad beat, I want to break YOUR computer.

WinJay · Dec 5, 2023

mmm...no...never But as a teacher of English as a foreign language, sometimes I meet students, who want to break computer because, they don't understand grammar topic

hutzpaf · Dec 5, 2023

Never, just the thought sounds silly.

louuu19 · Dec 5, 2023

I tend to tear my shirts apart when I am totally tilted

CataRouillet · Dec 5, 2023

Hahaha, I was definitely angry but never even close to that.

member401988 · Dec 25, 2023

if i broke all the devices i would save my money which is in my bank account
because poker has a good appetite

takinitSLEAZEE · Dec 25, 2023

There's only one definition of maturity, imo. Breaking components due to bad-beats or, ahem, bad-play is absurd. That would be like going to a cardroom/casino and tearing up a deck because you lost to a sick river. Can anyone say, "Can the real dim-baby please stand up, please stand up?!"
If you're tearing up devices cause you wanna throw a fit along w/your laptop or phone, then poker might not be for you. Stick w/something a bit more suited to your speed like "cornholing" or seek-a-word. Yeah, I said that. Grow up, people, and happy holidays.

A lot of nerves are lost at the poker tables and casino games, but if you also break things, is this game definitely worth all the negativity?

ponistra7 · Dec 25, 2023

In such cases I can be very angry, but never cross my mind to break something.

StealTheButton · Dec 25, 2023

While there are times where I would have liked to smash my phone, I just don't understand the impulsivelness of this action and how someone can actually do this. How can you have zero self control?

Pavel1203733 · Dec 26, 2023

Hello.
I never did something like this. I think it would be too strange for me.

Lucho.riv9 · Dec 26, 2023

In my case, I could never get angry enough to do that; I think that surpasses my anger limit. If someone does, maybe they should try some calmness exercises to control that rage.

Jedrey · Dec 26, 2023

Never, a game is a game and you have to have emotional control... if you can't, never play, practice something else or see a psychologist.

Veralt · Dec 26, 2023

I never reached that extreme. Sometimes I do get frustrated or upset about making silly mistakes, but never more than that. The times I got too angry (in situations unrelated to poker), at least I aimed at the mattress or the punching bag.
There are people who need to physically vent, but I usually settle for complaining.

me_035 · Dec 26, 2023

I have almost broke my PC while playing getting over it. But in poker it has never happened.

larabe1997 · Dec 28, 2023

not really just got headache

elchonga · Dec 28, 2023

The maximum is a hit on the table
But I have friends and acquaintances who broke devices
they lost more than a hand hahahaha

Stringy · Dec 28, 2023

nah poker doesn't get to me that much that i need to break anything

Like2Play2 · Dec 28, 2023

Unfortunately yes I have. Over 15 years ago. On PokerStars. I smashed my computer screen.

aleks361 · Dec 29, 2023

NO I try to control myself in the game this is the main self-control and discipline
