What's your reaction when you lose online ?

[cwdignus]

the best is to go for one with a new strategy

 

[HUmanMustard]

I think silently how terrible of a person I am for calling with AA preflop, knowing Im gonna lose to rags.

 

[Samsamsonite]

reaction

Im usually keep calm, but when i lose 3 times in a row with premium hands, i blame everything and everybody. However, not in the chat

everything like you except last part. oh, I let the genius know how smart is to pay 3/4 pot 3 times w bottom pair and river a set.

 

[donkcentralFF]

When i'm playing FF freerolls i just laugh

 

[Vesloval]

I just shake my head and tell myself how much i suck

 

[vassiriki]

i'm very angry for 5 mins if im being outlucked. if i play bad, i just say nahhhh and move on

 

[partyboy392]

Most of the time I feel really horrible. I feel like I can brake the screen and throw a mouse in a window. ha ha

one day I just had the luck to play a game to win $1800 on the pokerstars Spin&Go (the buy-in was 30 dollars)

When I was heads-up with this dude, he had like 4/10 of the chips available and I had 6/10 and I was pretty much thinking that it would be easy to win, since he was not a very good player.

Anyway, I had AK, he started betting, I went all-in and he called, with Q8.

I was just really happy that he was that stupid to go all-in with that, but then a queen appeared on the turn.... I just collapsed, I tilted mentally all the way. I still won like 200 dollars for playing this game, so it was very positive, but I just could not handle this kind of stuff. I started to play like a maniac thinking that it was my right to win 1800 dollars that day, entering a lot of Spin&Go games of $ 100 for example. Anyway, I lost a lot of money for tilting like that and it at least was good for me because since then I started to have more control over my tendencies to get addicted (I was addicted to opiates for a very long time and poker helped me when I was quiting, but it was just a change on the object of addiction).

I really can't imagine what's like to lose like half a million on some of those high stakes games.. I had the chance to win 2k, lost and already freaked out LOL

 

[thechamp5]

Yeah absolute frustration. It's easy for my mind to run in a bunch of directions and for me to develop all these random theories about how things are rigged because there is another element. Technology.

The sheer fact of the matter is that I see way more hands online and that is probably a big factor in why I see more rare stuff (though I have seen some rare stuff live through the years that has made me better at coping with online loss). I have gotten much better at standing up after bad beats instead of trying to recover things from them and going on bad runs.

 

[Aleksandr Slepkin]

Very annoying. Especially when good cards

 

[Edu4594]

I only think in the thing, "Do not tilt, do not tilt, you can control it."

 

[Whiterosemov]

I think that when you get some experience you stop kicking things and breaking stuff (or screaming with anyone who get close to you after you lose) in order to become a complete fatalistic cynical person

LOL

 

[blef mashine]

When I have a good hand and bet everything and someone follows me with some bad cards type 7Q , K8 ... that makes no sense , and win , then I am very angry , and this happens in the game with a small entrance where a lot of players log .

 

[partyboy392]

If you're reacting like any of the above, it doesn't surprise me that you all suck at poker. It doesn't really matter where actually... mistakes are there to learn from. If you deny them and act like its everybody elses' fault instead of realizing where you made a mistake, you'll NEVER get better.

 

[snake666]

this awful feeling... always there is a wish that that to break

 

[grotepeer]

grrrrrrr

i always jump around the desk killing every thing i met and than i count to 27 and go for a beer

 

[grotepeer]

also go to sleep,and dream of winning,verry nice

 

[coachlary69]

My reaction is usually mixed, depending on my outcome. Yesterday I got eliminated once when the bigger stack hit runner runner, and then I got eliminated twice when my opponent hit 3 of a kind. I was leading in all 3 eliminations. Initially I blame the site/player, and then I talk to myself and calm down. This is just poker. I've done it to others and now it happened to me.

 

[VGShaa]

Before, when I'm loosing I became very angry and blamed website and my opponents. Now I've become more experienced and patience, and blamed only myself, sometimes there are losses which I can not affect, but its happens, they help me to learn. I'm analyze my mistakes and try to avoid them in the future.

 

[PLAYINBIG]

A loss is never good but it comes along with the game.Just like the wins are good.Move on and just keep playing to win.

 

[MikeCarasone]

I don't mind losing hands that I get it in behind but it's super frustrating being a 90% favorite after the flop and I lose to runner runner miracles. The only time I get very mad is when I lose on the bubble with a monster vs a hand that should've folded. It's all variance but it still stings.

 

[Aleksandr Slepkin]

 

[HUmanMustard]

this is me when I get dealt KK , and the flop hasnt even come yet.

 

[shopwert]

I don't upset any more. I will take a break. I've been on a bad swing for a while now. If I get it 'all in' good on the flop and see I'm a 2:1 favorite, I just assume I'm beat and wait to see my opponent's miracle card hit on the river. I don't even feel comfortable with a 4:1 advantage because I've lost too many of those over the last couple of years. I guess the hardest thing for most players to understand is the past has no influence on the future. Poker is not rigged and the odds of winning apply to each hand. You can do everything right and still have a losing session or bad swing. I just keep at it. Play smart and hope for the best.

 

[BBr3]

If i lose to a one card hit, I'm calm and collected. When I lose to a double hit , especially when its the Turn+River and my opponent went in with nothing...those ones get me.
