It is not possible to predict the outcome of a hand with 100% certainty. This is poker, for which we love it, but sometimes it drives us to a rage. On my own, I notice that the more often you play, the calmer you feel about bad beat. If you have to take a break, it’s hard to endure such situations again.

Personally if you are getting angry at losing to a 1/2/outer or more - you need to look at that more - variance is part of poker and bad beats being part of that.
Dealing with emotions can be tough, especially when they may be a lot on the line but that in itself needs for you to look at your reasons for playing, your skillset and also whether you need to develop new ways to cope with the negative downswings of poker.
There is no unique and univeral method here, if there was, we would all pay good money to buy that book or hire that person.
I could cite lots of different ways to combat this but i think its covered well in a previous cardschat feature - here is that link below:

Good Luck my friend.

You should just cool your head off in the heat of the moment.You must not let the anger get the better of you.Its a lot easier said than done,but it feels so good after you know you have the discipline.

It's something that happens to all of us, and it's something the we all do to others.
I've come to accept bad beats, because I've come to realize that I do it, too. It still makes me kick myself, though, because obviously, I was wrong in my 100% winning estimation.
Many players actually do not know the real definition of a "bad beat"...I'm sure that if you asked 100 players what hand constitutes a "bad beat", you'd get 90 different answers/
The most common definition that I've read is, a "bad beat" is if you lose a hand, holding four eights, or better.
Still doesn't matter, though. If you think that you can't lose a hand, invest a lot into, and lose, that's a bad beat.

This is the difference between professionals and amateurs, everyone has BETBITS, but the way you PASS THEM and determines YOUR level at the moment - breathe fresh air for a minute, smile at yourself, think positively, you will give, and time will come and return with interest. , faith works miracles

basically not even remotely true...
where is the dislike button??? just one Helmuth's - still polite - reaction, only for a pot overbet call and falling flushdraw for river. from 7:30, and from 8:50 the best part... and that was just a single hand, not a days, weeks long online series... (and there are 100s "professional"s similar, often much worse reactions are out there.) He was mostly upset because that pot overbet loss never will return - not even without interest -, as you get a call for that once from 1000...

You should not play poker if you are tilted! :deal: When your feelings get involved its time for a break.
Remember officials are eyeing in live tourneys. Having fun then jail , well not my cup of tea.

Tilt is when you lose, giving away extra money, make unforced mistakes because you are in a bad beat series... it is not about tilt, i dont tilt, but i get angry, upset by insane bad beats like everybody else... and the question was how you deal with it...
if you don't know what called tilt exactly, probably you shouldnt play poker, not me...
officials?
you mean the loser, dumb legal criminals owned by the corrupt govs, corps, bankers, billionaires... those whose operates the stealing from everybody, everyday, and giving to their owners, that they could wash it clean in tax paradises, or through charities, fundations... f*ck all of them, too, like pretty much all hordes, their members out there!!!!!!! (especially if it is about poker with their double illegal taxation! what is pure stealing nothing else - based on their rules, laws, not mine - in the name of "law") they are only androids, useful slaves for system owners in the mass-murderer prison world system. You were born in a jail and you are going to die in a jail, like everybody else... does it really make difference what you do? nope. rules for us not for them... so you can break all their rules, as they do it all the time....
the jails what you are talking about not that bad places, 80% common sensed people (funny you mentioned, they release all the real dangerous criminals from there pretty fast - if they put them there at all -, like child abusers, rapers, murderers, psychopaths etc. noone seems to notice, noone seems to care...) whose know how the system works + free accomodation, food, so they can't ruin your daily life, torture you in the rat race in the "free" open worldwide jail... anyway, whatever i do, they can't put me there, as i got it how the "system" works...
sweet dreams!!!!!

First of all, it's not your fault.
Are you also getting angry about earthquakes, hurricanes and fire-spewing volcanoes which all wreck our shit up? No? That's my advice to you: Treat bad luck like a natural phenomenon: Accept it and move on.
