What makes me more upset is that I have played the tournament correctly practically everything, I in the hijack with TT I go allin with a stack of 17500, BB decides to call with QKo with a stack of 9854. The flop comes QQK, me leaving us furious, upset, there is no need to be so gross like that, we were in the tournament bubble, I think this is a gravissimo mistake. If we want to be good poker players we should be more cautious and start playing with our Stacks and not with the cards.
What are you upset about?

What makes me upset at poker is that during an all-in showdown I have Ace high and my opponents has rags and the rags win.

Or when I raise a solid hand and get nothing the flop only to face a calling station.

When my bluffs should work but do not. When I am losing when I should not be. When I have a loser hand which means I can only lose not win anything in a MTT. When I don't get action with aces but get plenty of action with my k9s all in. A lot of things piss me off.

Bad beats, in particular ones where I'm all in. Even worse is when it isn't a flip type situation, you are the outright favourite

I am frustrated by the constant bad luck, I play poker very much as it seems to me not bad, and a good card comes very rarely

In poker, I'm upset by the situation when I pre-flop went to the all-in with pocket AA and lost to the opponent with the garbage. But, this is poker!

real vs online

Playing live poker is completely different from playing online. Over the Internet, stupid and unbelievable situations happen much more often!

I rarely ever tilt but if I have bad beats all day I tend to just sigh and predict that my opponent hits his 4 on a flip.

Bad beats and variance happens and sometimes for 1 or even 2-3 days in a row.
The most important thing is to keep grinding and play the best possible you can until the cards get better.


I used to also get a little annoyed when I fold a hand and miss out on a monster flop, but there's always a good reason for folding them.


Don't give up ;)

What makes me really upset is: going allin with a sick hand and then at the river, the opponent will win the game. Because of a 0.03% change the one card enters the table... Then I feel really unlucky and angry...

My biggest frustration is when running poorly in situations I am play sound poker. The age old "when it rains it pours" saying gets my emotions running super high in poker. I can handle bad beats here and there, but when I hit hardcore variance and get sucked out on back-to-back-to-back (or more), that's when I find a pillow, cover mouth and scream haha.

I'm upset when I have a strong hand, but the opponent wins with a garbage hand because the program helps him if he has a few times more chips and he boldly goes to the allin knowing this

Typically when playing live in a short stack turbo type game my biggest frustration is when playing against recreational players that do not fold when they really should. Sometimes when card dead I can only build a stack by bluffing but some noobs will call even when they completely miss the board. It is frustrating because it's times like this that there is truly nothing you can do to win.

I get frustrated when I did everything right, but my opponent, who plays for the sake of pleasure, came with his 2 outs and he won me with garbage. and so several times in a row

More than a bad beat in which you can't control I get upset when I make a bad decision which I can control.

Bad beats will happen and sometimes alot for an extended period and there is nothing you can do about it.


Bad decisions can be controlled and it hurts when you know you just punted a stack after a few hours in a tournament.


Bad plays hurt 10x worse than a bad beat to me.

Russians playing terrible poker and getting rewarded every time, I seem to be unlucky enough to be sat next to an idiot most of the time.
