Having an outlet is good. Overdoing it is another thing. As someone else mentioned, it is a sign of maturity in one's game. I think it's pretty common especially when one really wants to get good. Though they may want it a little too fast.

The more you learn about the game, the less this will happen. Rechannel that energy to working on your game. Learning about variance, how you make money during a hand even though you lose the pot, long run, etc...Basically, learn how to analyze a hand top to bottom. Realize that even casinos lose to some lucky player on the roulette wheel. Sometimes over and over. Also understand, your edge, if you are a winning player, really isn't as big as you may think.

When this feeling starts, quit. Calm down, then analyze some of the hands you played. Then study a little. Try to learn something each time this occurs that may help in prolonging the reaction next time. Eventually, you won't get that reaction hardly, if at all. Because you will have a much better understanding of the game.
