How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

Okay so, for the last 20 tourneys or so, I've lost every coinflup.

If I'm in with the best hand the overcards hit.

If I have the overcards, I don't pair.

I know this is a fact of life. How do I avoid psycho tilt?

Punch a wall.
Break something.
Throw your mouse.

Or do what I did about a month ago - slam your fist on your bed bending your arm up and backwards, which in turn dislocates your shoulder.

I punch walls usually, but i had to spackle all the holes last year, so i put pictures of my mom and female on the places i usually punch, and their smiles turn into demeaning sneers the angrier i get. Its a lesson that some people have to learn, unfortunately i have lost thousands playing tilted blackjack to learn this expensive lesson.

You're wrong. Clearly the right move is to punch [censored].

I am the violent Phil Helmuth of Party sngs. Lol, I'm just playing, dude. I did really dislocate my shoulder though.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

I've found the best way to deal with anger is to keep starting up new sngs. Might sound corny or whatever, but it doesn't take long to forget about the bad beats.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

I keep a 100 buyin BR and say "nh" whenever someone sucks out on me.

Good rule, but I think if you're on a 35 buy-in downswing you're also allowed to bitch.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

Here are my rules for the people who come to bitch to me...you have to either lose to 25 3 outers in a row, drop 50 buyins over 100 games, go 20+ otm in a row, or lose 10k+ in a day. Btw, these rules dont apply to me.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

Grab nearest pointing instrument by the tail, rip out by roots, and offer up a full, no [censored], homerun, get the frustration out SWING at nearest convenient target.

You aren't encouraged to make the sympathy post until you're out 3 mice, one keyboard, a screen, and mama's potplant. Your sample size is still too small.

You can't even do this now on Party. Or fill it up with XXXX's. When he hits his 2 outer that he risked his whole stack on you are booted from the game, chat privelages gone. It's like you were never there.

My rules about complaining. Unless you have eaten poop and stabbed a dude: shut up.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

Actually you can get the 'nh' in if you're really quick. I usually can't be bothered though!

Happens to the best of us....(and the worse, not sure where you fall)...

I've had it worse then i've had all year the past week, 200 sngs played, and down with rediculous scenarios, just play through it, it will turn if you are a winning player...
Chin up..

Coincidently, my parents brought a cat last week, brilliant stress reliever...think its learning to stay away when my ak is pwned by aq on the river.... stupid pussy

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

Am I the only one enjoying being on a downswing? Seriously :S. I think the beats are humorous.

Re: How Do I Deal With the Anger?
 

ITs quite funny when they have 2 outs on the river and you just "know" its going to come, weird feeling, you just laugh and accept it, knowing that they have lost 1000's this year, and you will have their christmas bonus come jan....boom

I like it even more when I push over a raiser with KK-QQ and know not only that they will call with A + undercard, but also win. It's a two step psychic effort on my part.

Try punching yourself in the balls.

You must love poker. There are no downsides for you. Winning money = good. Big downswing = good! Cool.
