How Do You Handle Bad Beats and "Tilting"?

[andyt5303]

I agree. I like to think that I deal with tilt quite well, I can shrug bad beats off easily. However when it's bad beat after bad beat after bad beat for 40 minutes straight of course it affects me like it would anyone, but all I need to do it take a break and then return with a fresh mind free of tilt!

I have been in tilt․
It is very dangerous situation. You can loss all your money.

But I think nobody can't avoid tilt!

 

[Emixilian]

I am in tilt 24/24 hahaha .. joking . I think this is the problem at my game, the constantly tilt. WHen i will handle this situation i will start playing a lot better.

In live poker I handle bad beats very well and they don't really bother me that much or for that long. But in online poker I yell and swear at my computer and break things. I broken my phone, multiple keyboards, a mouse and other things that were in reach and I've thrown into the wall. The biggest thing that I've broke is my laptop, I don't play poker on my new one

Jesus it's not worth all of that. Just recognize bad beats will happen as part of the game. I take multiple river beats everyday online which never happens live I must say. Here is 2 river beats I took yesterday alone in the same game. Was I mad hell yeah. Do I expect it all the time now online yes....

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble who supports online poker but it hasn't been the same since the Black Friday shutdown of pokerstars and Full tilt. I can play flawless poker and I'm lucky to make $9 per hour. I go over to Dover Delaware Casino I make over $200 per hr. I have been playing since I was 16 years old and I'm now 38. Online Poker just isn't the same regardless of what level your playing. Either that or I'm just cursed. Lol my brother is also a CC member and he sends me BB pics day in and day out. I have always hated the word rigged or juiced for action when referring to online play but when you get your butt killed daily by 2 outers and runner runners you see coming you got to question why me?

I don't think there's anything as frustrating in poker as someone landing a miraculous draw on the river. Especially when they've committed heavily to something that was so unlikely and been rewarded for their bad decision.

It really riles me like. You make the sound play, you play the hand right, and lose the hand to a complete fluke in the dark. Irritating.

 

[torres_iie4opa]

I usually try to win. But even worse become.

 

[nitulbhatia]

I know i cant handle losses and tilting, i always play higher trying to recover what ive lost and in the process lose more. So ive stopped playing.

 

[dejan85]

well not to easie,I dont like when bad beat,juste realpoker,sometimes take a breake for a week when that Happens to often.........

 

[Doblador bus]

If you play a hand with little chance of victory and lose money is like the headache because it was the night before the party and has not rested enough, so it is best to rest, in case of thinking poker More on how to play hands.

 

[elitenuts]

I dont think anyone can honestly say that they dont get bothered by bad beats. Knowing you made the right call always reassuring but getting knocked out after hours of play sucks. I usually take a little break then jump right back in Its easy to get past them once you have a good win.

 

[rodrigo1972]

close the pokersite go for a cup of coffee and then go to sleep and play the next day

 

[Runeloko]

When this happens to me, I just take like 10 seconds & then I say to me "Well, it's poker". hahaha!

 

[miamia]

I am handle just fine,but delaer dont think i do,because,after bad beat,he think i am tilting and give me more reason to tilting,but really i am just fine,but these bad beats are just going on and on on on .,..........Than i go on play money and harass all that fine people.

 

[rodrigo1972]

I just go to rest and drink water then I start to play again because I know that I play very well the hand

 

[GRANDPAPA929]

My straight on the river received a terrible blow. Out of my mouth popped a lot of swear words. The cigarette was smoked a couple of bongs. But this is a game and nothing can be done. I washed in the shower and went to breathe the fresh air on nature. There is still a lot of games and to only focus on one makes no sense. On the picturesque scenery the person quickly recovers.

 

[danielbalaci]

I do not handle my bead beats at all, I just lose all my bankroll .

 

[danielbalaci]

... and do not worry, next day it will be another freeroll and you can start all over again, is not that bad if you do not lose your money.

 

[makisaa]

I keep calm and try to recover using my judgement.

 

[LotGrinder]

I act like an adult and look forward to the next hand. If I feel my mood is going to be sour or if there is any chance people playing for recreation and fun may see me pout like a little bitch sourpuss I pick up my chips and leave the casino. Drive straight to Mcdonald's and buy myself a Mcflurry to cry in.
