unfortunately it happened because I was in a hurry to make it to the poker game because there was no internet on my phone
in a hurry, the phone broke and later I lost the poker game as well

mouse and keyboard I've already broken several, I know that's wrong, but when I'm in the final stretch of an important tournament and I take a bad turn and lose the tournament, I go crazy with rage then it's over.

Almost my laptop, but this is till working.

One time 1 monitor so i had to play on 2 instead of 3.

I think around 20-40 mouses are dead against te wall :)

After last hand on 29th december i think, i quit playing poker on ggpoker.

Lost a cashgame pot preflop all in 200$ each, so pot 400$ i have KK vs JJ.
Other player decide to run it 1 time with JJ. OC there is a Jack on the flop and i lose.

Why only run it 1 time i do not know, did he have info ?

Mouse broke and i instant stop playing on GG( i did not like the software anyway, pokerstars software is much better).

So now i only play live poker untill pokerstars is back in the netherlands.

I have not gone to that extreme but in truth many can get angry in that way and can cause chaos.

Besides losing money in a poker game, losing even more money by smashing you screen doesn't seem like a good choice.

I have never done this because I understand that this way I will suffer even greater losses. It's better to just close the tables so as not to lose money.

I am not me have strong nerves
I broke furniture. When I was younger, I was usually very emotional, and since I was boxing for quite a long time, I broke more than just furniture ..... But now I'm actually retired. I became calm, adequate and completely balanced :)

No, however, I may have shortened the life of more than one mouse by slamming them down occasionally.

I don't have the strongest nervous system, but I try to restrain myself and sometimes, because of a loss, I can shout loudly or bang my hand on the table, but this also happens during a win.

I never broke it. I don’t earn so much from poker that after every failure I buy a new computer or monitor.:)

Great question! …Sadly- yes. I have broken an iphone and a tablet… So, I now refrain from succumbing to the rage of being bad beat by a garbage hand - while deep in tournaments 😡

Never, but sometimes you want to because you end up falling into the bubble by a weak hand

I did not intentionally broke my computer. But I did punch the screen and it cracked.
This was in a tourney of 9000 people. These tourneys lasted 8 to 10 or 12 hours.
It's a very long time ago.
