Break things

Sometimes while playing poker online , we fall in some situations , where we get very angry , maybe even break things ... Have you ever break or hit something while playing online poker ?.

I have never and probably never will. I just get depressed and thoughtful with myself. I either say well I will never win that tournament and was not ment to or I blame myself over how bad I played.

Only when playing on 888 and Stars. Then recently I decided to change my approach to the bad beats and am doing much better now.

never would i get that upset over a game..........but i learn't coping strategies in my early twenties as i had a bad gambling problem,,,,,,, im in my 40s now.........and i treat gambling as just fun................and only gamble an amount i would'nt care if i lost.......also never chase

My opinion

I would get mad at things that would happen when I had a vacuum tube TV monitor. The hard monitor and punch it. It hurt my knuckles more then damaged the computer. As the computer got more delicate, I got more delicate but still argue a lot.

I got my monitor broken a couple of years ago and i say no more
Don't break things, prevent double losses.

No!
I'm not expert in this field, but anger issues is not connected with poker... some of people will act like that because they can't controled their emotions so they passed to the things around them!
Aggressively releasing their emotions...when they don't get, what they want!

break things

of course not
i play for fun and i know the rules
i can t immaging someone to break things ...and after that to keep playing poker.
if that happens to anybody.....i advice him to stop playing poker.

There are always going to be bad beats in poker . You can't get that upset over a hand . You either have to find a calm way to deal with it or quit playing ( at least until you calm down ) or you will just go on tilt and lose more . Good luck .

I can understand that someone tilting very hard, can do stupid things like breaking or punching something. Just remind yourself everytime, that if you are going to break something, after that life will be the same, but with an extra problem - cleaning that mess you've done.

I used to break a bunch of shit...

Now I have better self control

glad i helped........maybe check out this video on youtube....Gambling Addiction & Me - The Real Hustler (Full Documentary) - Real Stories:ciao:

No, I did not break anything under the influence of emotions, but I had a great desire to break my monitor. I believe that at such moments, I just need to get up and go for a walk. It is better to take a break than to continue to be nervous.

When poker is on everybody's phones you will see phones thrown from bus windows with a lot of cursing!

Good luck !

Omg, sounds like an unstable emotional state. If somebody do this, it's time to heal their nerves.

Hi.
Yes of course. In this year, I broke two mice, one keyboard and broke the cup. I hope that next year I will be able to better control my emotions.
Good luck.
