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

[flabilim]

I haven't gotten to the point of breaking things yet, but falling over is normal and a lot of swear words lol.

breaking something will only increase anger etc

3 years ago I lost top set to rivered quads in the last 18 of the Sunday million which would have put my stack 20% over 2nd place and nearly guaranteed final table and possible highest pay day alas I needed a new laptop after that bad beat which barely covered what I got for finishing 18th

Yes but sometimes uncontrollable

18th place is also good money bro!!
my best place was around 30 in the Sunday Million

Nope, but I did tilt a lot when I first played. It takes years to become immune to the emotions of bad beats.

it's not good to get used to the bad - how many times are you willing to lose with AA vs. KK - I think your computer can suffer once

if I lost AA vs KK 1000 times in a row, I think I would melt my computer

 

[Sparta77]

I'll say yes once: ) For me, a $22 tournament is already big.I pay once for a tournament and I fell out of the paying hejy with AA divided in ollin against a split 2. It becomes a floppon drill.Unfortunately the leptop hurt

I think a computer is something that's hard to have and it wouldn't make sense to do that. I have had bad times but not to that extreme.

 

[dori111]

never broke or shattered anything

 

[Derek957]

Multiple keyboards and mouses's and once threw a chair which took an unfortunate bounce on my bed and the leg went through the wall. Never a PC though

I am not me have strong nerves

I am always emotionally prepared for both defeats and victories. I consider poker as entertainment and thanks to that I don't feel stress, anger or frustration. I have never broken anything under the influence of emotions. I can easily control my emotions because I always have a positive attitude

 

[BrunoFabri01]

I avoid doing this because I'm the one who will have to pay later

smartly done because you used cheap computers for the poker game - at least less losses

 

[member401988]

This game tests our patience, nerves, thinking, tactics, nerves - I must say, good game and always use the best equipment, because every little thing counts !

 

[gloria_marga]

No, I've never had fits of anger that made me break something. At most, I applaud with anger, that's all.

 

[sibkaz]

Why am I wild? Or what? ))

Who taught you to control yourself-it is a very good character trait

but you already know one of your friends who can't control themselves (I know many who break things in anger)

 

[monkeytilter]

No fortunately never get to that stage, though I have slammed the mouse down onto the pad a few times after a particularly disgusting bad beat.

The arm of my computer desk chair tends to get a whack now as my hand comes down onto it in exasperation, but that's it, tilt over and on to the next hand - think that's better than bottling it up!

 

[Snake2007]

Noo. Never

 

[63burner]

No, not worth it. If I was going to break anything, it's my streak of runner runner that benefits my opponents; they make their full house, or quads, making my flush or straight a loser.

I am not me have strong nerves

I am a disciplined player, patient and consistent. I follow bankroll management and therefore any financial losses are not a critical issue for me. I control my emotions easily and behave appropriately in any situation. I am surprised by people who, in a fit of emotion, break monitors or break a keyboard or mouse, I think such people have mental problems and can harm themselves and others.

it looks like you keep your anger to yourself - what is more important your health or your computer


I'm not saying that you need to break something, but you shouldn't keep your anger inside

 

[oriole]

No, but I’ve seen plenty of players send their devices to an early grave. Tilt is real!
