What do you do when you lose a game or tournament.

I just read about a player slamming the mouse into the wall when he looses.

Do you do something like that?

I myself takes the power from the laptop and slam the computer into the table.

I don't do that! If you have that much anger you should get a punching bag, or smoke a cigarette or something to get your blood pressure down. Emotions are an anchor in poker. Don't let em drag you down!

Sometimes I yell once out of disgust, and often include swear words. I'm usually pretty good at keep a level head, but no matter how hard I try not to get mad, people's donk plays just piss me off. #stillworkingonit

Honestly, it helps soothe making love))) I personally do.

I probably spend a few minutes on how my pocket QQ or KK or even aces lose to an inferior hand such as A5 or 88 or 74. Then I question my solid gameplay thinking as if it is as really solid as I think.

Get a cup of coffee and look for a new game to play.

I start another one

Most of the time it doesn't bother me as I play regarding solid BRM....
Getting eliminated in a tournament is part of the game and financially it won't kill me.

Still ther's moments where having a very nice stack, going all-in with an almost nut hand and close to a deep run, losing it to some runner-runner made hand makes me feel like....darn.....
But that's more because of seeing a potential deep run dissapear.
It's definitely not because of losing a buy-in.....I don't care about that.

So what do I do ?

Just start another one but if I hate the losing hand.....I go do something else like reading a book , watch some tv-series....go outside....whatever to relax....

Move on... pour a coffee ..read the news play again ...maybe say ahhhhhhhhh.

Hi There
I saw that post and replied to.
The thing is to take a deep breath a break and a cup of coffee and go to another game
Cheers

It will depend on my mood, I can move on to the next game as if nothing had happened, and I can be upset and not play poker for a week.

 

[step055]

Just relax and smile

 

[muazkkh1996]

[milo79]

[Anders1616]

Today i lost with AA to 96, so what to do, go and see what is going on on CC.

 

[emk211]

Stomp my feet and cuss out the dealer, then I cry and throw my computer against the wall!

 

[MAGICUZ]

I do not do this, because I do not see the point,you will not change anything and time will not return.So I open the beer and go to watch a good movie

 

[Natta777]

Good theme.A long ago I very in earnest behaved to the poker.Not winning I was angered, broke up nothing, but a mood was terrible.Now I look at a poker as on entertainment.I very like the process of game.I do not get irritated when I do not win, sometimes I laugh even.As well as yesterday there was a good game in social фриролле.But I can not whip off АА when a competitor goes the vole.As a result I abandon a tournament.Offensively and merrily.And I dreamed already, to be in a prize zone.But there will be other tournament and maybe for me he will be happy.Can try to visualize that I am a winner?Ideas are material!

 

[infonazar]

I always try to keep calm.
If I lose, I try to analyze my game to avoid mistakes in the future.

annoying loss

Any loss is always a rather unpleasant and sad event in the life of any player. This, as a rule, happens when your good hand was suddenly dominated after a turn or river. Well, of course, the most common situation is when you went all-in with a very high pair and lost to a lower pair. Or your 80 percent was won by hand with 20-30 percent. This happens very often and you have to take it, learn it, more calmly and balancedly. personally, when something like this happens, I just close the poker room and start watching a movie or doing something else on the Internet. or, quietly turn off the computer, with some joy that the hassle is over))))))

 

[vox1er]

If you are in tilt it is better to take a break to calm down, you have to accept that in poker it is impossible to win constantly.

 

[vov4ik]

if I lose in a cheap tournament or freeroll, I’m not very angry that I lost, but it happens when I play a good tournament and get prizes or I lose before the prize zone and my card plays very badly and I fly out of the tournament - then I am very angry, but then I continue to play other tournaments or in a cash game to forget about such a game!

 

[Dmytro Lysyuk]

I'm just doing other things in order not to upset. It helps to relax and with new forces to adjust to the game.
