In the moment with still hands, time to play just simply move on re-load if needed and keep playing. When the session or MTT is over and if it's been a losing one usually hit the heavy bag and speed bag to take out my frustrations. Works for me and gives me a good workout as added benefit.

Such situations happen very often. I just don't pay attention to them. This is an integral part of the game and emotions are simply inappropriate here. I just keep playing the way I played before.

Depends! Cash games I don't mind so much. They're very much a percentage or EV game. Get it in with the best of it more often than not (with a few bluffs incorporated for good measure) and you can't really go wrong in the long term. Just rebuy and it's all good.
If I lose hands there and get stacked on the river it's part of the variance.
If I bust out of a tournament it's a little harder to take as that's it, the whole thing is over. Still, there will always be a next time.

River it's like a coin toss, there's always a chance that it will land on the rib, the same with the river, there's always a chance that he'll flip the dude with 27 a straight when you have three. I lost so many tournament on the river.

Yes, the river is a very dangerous street, you can lose a lot of money on it, especially if your opponent reaches the last card if you fall on his side you won all the way but he closed the map on the river and he defeated you, it's a shame to lose that way, well, I don't worry about such losses anymore, I just close the tournament and go play another

Offtopic: congrats on ur username and picture here. Its a pleasure to see everytime and takes me right back to my childhood.
Topic:
if u start to feel anger after busting and games are over: Do immediately something else which requires either brain or manpower. Like this u can forget quick. I recommend to train instantly with heavy weights.
If u continue to play: remind urself that its all one big session and try not to tilt ingame.

Such situations usually upset me, but I do not feel anger or hatred. I just try not to pay attention to it. Temporary failures and difficulties are those things that will always go along with good results and success. For me, such situations are another obstacle that I have to overcome on the way to my goal.

I won't be so hypocritical and say that I don't get angry the moment the villain hits his card on the river, but this reaction is momentary, and I soon forget and continue playing, I never get tilted and compromise my tournament because of it.
As I only play freerolls, I know that most players are beginners and will pay until the end trying to hit their straight, fluch and even third pair, and they often succeed, as they depend more on luck than on skill, but I also know that this type of player will be a loser in the long run.

There's nothing wrong with failing on the river, because it's also a station where a card that your opponent was waiting for can come up. The bigger problem is when he doesn't have anything on the flop, but he holds on despite your raises, because it will come down to him anyway (he believes in this from the beginning). And knowing these great online sites, the only card from the deck with 'it' can beat you comes on river.

At first I was upset, then I got used to it, now it's routine, this is poker, the same way it happens to others, it happens to you too, good luck and long live the river
