To be quite honest I never get angry at anything that happens on the felt.....I try to analyse my play, and villain's, and learn from it. Getting mad just messes you up !!!!

first one most
when I feel that I do right, but because of freaking random I lose anyway...hate it!

I would say making a bad play, when you know that you are beat and pay to see it. Once in a great while you catch that 1 bluffing but its not worth it

Definitely #2; my own mistake hits me worse, especially when I keep telling myself not to keep betting. lol

when u make it to the end and blinds are high and you go card dead

this is what makes me angry . I have a bad habit of checking the nuts . Then i get drawed out on you have to bet the nuts are you will regret it most of the time

I try very hard not to get angry when something doesn't go my way I Just tell Myself "Well, that was unfortunate"

well ... I will tell you that those things you listed make anyone angry ... however one of the lessons I have learned is that you should never get angry when you play poker because that will make you make bad decisions and you will end up losing everything

it is anger at any action that disturbs your peace in the game and causes an imbalance
this is part of the tilt concept

When people do stupid things and win while I do the right thing and lose. ��

No other game I can think of rewards you so richly for making bad high risk moves.

•waiting for long time to get a good hand
• badbeat
• over repeatedly not winning good hand on shoving
•agreesive player
And many more

I do my best not to get angry. to be honest it's hard to deal with the effect of variance on my games especially at the end of a mtt game. what i hate most is playing good hands like AK AQ and not touching anything on the flop and having to throw hands like 28 because the players all-in preflop. it is always me who wins full, straight, color. but when I play it is also to have a good time playing poker. I always try to have fun.

Oh yeah I forgot. Bingo players who go all in all the time. Adrenaline junkies.

slow play and bad bets

When people start a sentence in a lowercase letter I loose the will to read....

In poker, make a mistake again.

Bad plays are learning experiences and no reason to get angry but perhaps disappointed. If getting sucked out sends the blood pressure up and results in a foul mood, pick another hobby.

Playing great and getting sucked out on. It happens far too often for me. Usually 10-20% for my opponent and then bam. They win. And in big tourneys too. Like the $400 colossus on ggpoker. Had AK, called and all in. Opponent had A 10. Turned a 10..... Gross.

Hey. I don't pay attention to anything at all. I take this as a necessary mathematical chance. A necessary evil)).

I get a lot more irritated when I make the right decisions and end up losing to a weak hand.
There are many players who call with weak hands and end up winning. It makes me very angry because I am a very careful player.

losing a hand that was almost winning

At the time, what makes me more nervous is some player calling with a much worse hand and hitting a miracle on the river. But in general, what makes me most upset is when I play badly.

definitly number 2 because that is something i can do about number1 is justa part of poker

It is generally harmful to get nervous when playing poker. You will sometimes lose seemingly perfect hands. It's a game.

For sure the first on. Always angry when a player makes an option call and hits the turn or river but that's poker.

I don't like it when a player with a clearly weak card throws me out of the game. It gets on the nerves.

there are a lot of players who really dont care and you will be playing good and get sucked out by bad players this is where we learn to consistency in our decision making and also remember the way these players play at low stakes high level players dont play that way

learn to make adjustments use you tag or label features

you must try your best not to let your emotions leak out being nervous can lead to bad decision making, because you will try to play cards instead of poker

I don’t know what makes me more angry, but it lasts for a little time, I move to another one and leave my anger behind.

Winning on the flop, turn, and losing on the river I hate a lot.

They are just stages, and when you play a lot of volume, tragedies become normal, it's just to follow the next hand, that's just

I am constantly angry about bad cards. After this anger, even good cards do not give pleasure.

Neither, I don't get angry over a game, no time to get angry, the next hand has started.

Many players play with bad cards. And they win. This is no longer poker but roulette

I will go with number 1. Just getting crushed on a bad play by the other guy seems to be worse to me

I only get upset when I make the wrong decision. Apparently, this is the only reason. Sometimes it also happens when there are technical problems, it also upsets me, but such cases are rare.

The game upsets me the most when, for example, me with AQ and the opponent with AJ receives J on the river ....

i now play 5000 spins in a month and i burn, i have never burned like that, only sports save

And why get angry, it's a game. I tell myself next time, I will definitely win. It's a shame when you have a set of 5 and your opponent has a set of 7. Or when 2 aces and you fly out when you go all-in.

If you play one discipline regularly, there are a number of villains who have reason to be angry and bend over

I agree the worst is playing bad cause you could maybe control that. You can’t control someone sucking out.

To be beaten with an absurd hand and out of place certainly puts me out of my mind

I feel more affected by # 1. Knowing that you played your hand well and in the best way, and the villain calls with anything and ends up winning you a big pot, it drives me crazy ahah

when I'm in great shape, the river comes and ends it all

Hello.
I rather than get angry, I get disappointed. One of the worst is when I push all-in with AA or KK, another calls and winds up winning with a lesser hand. Kind of like Helmuth, but more subtle.

Like you, it bothers me more to make a bad play that costs you lots of chips. Getting your aces cracked or any kind of suckout on the river is still annoying, but I don't get angry.

I'm more infuriated by multiple moves! When I play against strong players or show a weak game it's easier for me to leave! But I can't get away from the fish and if it keeps getting lucky it just kills me!

I’ll make the distinction between getting mad at a bad beat even though I played it correctly and being embarrassed by just playing stupid.

I do get mad at a bad beat when I have the percentage big in my favor, but I’m working on that. So a bad beat doesn’t bother me quite as much anymore.

I played so bad one time I was embarrassed by it. I said to myself “if I play like that again I’ll stop playing altogether.” Why give money away? So I play one it two tables at a time, think about opponent’s play style and take notes on each one (no third software here by design hate em!!!). I’m better for it.

what makes me angry is my falling into tilt, when after a couple of lost stacks I go to the casino and lose my entire bankroll there

As much as I am very aware that there is no point in getting angry at anything in poker (other than arguably your own mistakes/misplays) as "if it happened, it's possible" I do find myself becoming unreasonably upset when I get it all in with the most equity and the underdog hits a miracle. Even if I'm only favored to win 4/5 times in that spot, I should be delighted at being able to get all the money in every time, and that just wouldn't happen if people didn't outdraw/suck-out, cooler or bad-beat other players. It's easy for me to be pretty mad at the fact that variance didn't favor me in a spot, even though in hindsight if it weren't for that than the risks far outweigh the rewards and no recs would play. It'd be a bunch of nitty regs nut-pedaling (it already feels that way on some sites as it is, getting all the money in often requires a lot of probability to be profitable to the underdog or else they'll fold every time).

Lately I notice myself becoming more irritated at myself for calling or trying to bluff in a bad spot when I know I'm beat. From a logical, pragmatic viewpoint, I should just fold (or check/fold) and move on, but I still get very emotionally invested in the outcome of hands where the pot is above-average, thus am more prone to snap-calling or snap-shoving when everything from my mind to my gut tells me it's the wrong play but I do it anyway. THEN I beat myself up pretty hard about it. The fact that I'm aware of this being an issue for me gives me hope, it's just been the most difficult thing for me to overcome so far.
