Most outrageous displays & outbursts playing online (ANGER or JOY)
 

So I was sitting at my computer looking at 1) the blood trickling down my right hand, and 2) the collection or 3 or 4 scars I have on my 3rd knuckle on the middle finger of my right hand, when it occurred to me I have a bit of a temper issue playing online poker. (I tend to punch my 21" CRT pretty hard when I misplay and then as a result lose a particularly large pot).

Then it occurred to me that just 5 minutes prior I was engaged in some decidedly less than 36-year-old behavior after filling up on the river against someone I had decided was the Devil.

So here's mine:
ANGER: The repeated punching of the screen until <font color="red">blood</font> is drawn
JOY/TAUNT: Dancing in front of the screen repeating "you're gonna loooo-oose" in a lilting sing-song fashion only 1st graders can do properly

Mike Matusow once threw his laptop into his pool after losing a big pot. . . .

Personally, I've thrown a chair, flipped a table, killed a dog, and beaten a neighbor all while playing online poker.

When I win a big pot I like to strip down to my birthday suit and streak around the house yelling "SUCK DEEZ NUTZ". . .b/c of course I win with "The Nuts".

Not on-line poker, but a display of temper none the less. Copy and pasted from an old post in the psych forum, titled Idiot/ do not read.

"I once threw my T.V. through my second story window and down to the parking lot below because Notre Dame lost a football game a couple years ago. I'm much better now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]"

Not my finest moment.

Hmmm, I'm not worried about your fingers (cut em off, they grow right back), but you might not want to kill a 21' monitor. Get a punching bag or the like and save yourself some green.

Your taunt is way off. after you put a beat on the table "satan" or "osama" get your face as close to the monitor as possible and shout "how do you like that. MFER"

So does it help?
 

One related question- does anybody have an opinion on whether this less than mature behavior helps prevent tilt when losing and/or hone that killer instinct when winning?

BTW, my wife would definitely agree with whoever suggested a cross-post to the Psych Forum. I'm glad to be enlightened that it exists as I am clearly in need of Tilt Therapy.

Um well, actually, a more accurate reporting of my little taunt chant was more like: "you're gonna looo-oose, you're a mother-Fer, i boned you goo-ood..." etc. etc. for about a dozen stanzas.
