When I suffer a bad beat.. it may be immature but I simply walk away from my computer and refill my coffee.
If I sit down and chat up the other player, or just stay at my computer I know I'll tilt. I have the worst history of tilting right after getting a bad beat. I've thrown away SOOOOOO much money just rage all-ining or some stupid shit right after getting a bad beat.
I've recognized I need to step away to remain emotionless. If I can do it within 2-3 seconds of taking the bad beat I know I might be able to recover. Sure, I might miss a hand in the process, but I'd rather completely miss that hand than misplay it. Yes, I have stepped away before and got dealt aces and had to step away again haha, but that's life. In the long run I'd like to be able to handle bad beats and laugh it off, but right now I recognize I'm not emotionally mature enough to and so I walk away.
What about you guys? Stress balls? Music? Alcohol? Tell me please
