How do you handle suckouts?

[slickterp]

a. find soft object (small pillow, girlfriend's god-damn stupid teddy bear, etc.)
b. throw it as hard as possible at a wall
c. repeat as necessary
d. get back in there

I usually smash my mouse. I've broken 3 mouses (mice?) in the past 8 months. Good thing they're 10$. I've been 4 tabling for a while so nothing can surprise me now.

last night in a stars 15+1 turbo I pushed KTs on the button 4 handed...BB was 475 and i was ~1200. (200 blinds). he called w/ Aq and I hit my K on the river. he typed in..."terrible lucky player"...I just laughed and typed in "terrible whining foreigner". Its always so tempting to explain your actions an how many times it has happened to you...but anyway, when Im the one being sucked out on, I just scroll back in my mind to these moments and realize all of the luck evens out the longer I play and I just have to get used to it if this is going to be my hobby of choice.

Thanks for all the advice. Somewhere between smashing my computer equipment and just accepting it I am sure I can find an answer. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That's "Meese" without the "s". Like "goose"/"geese".

thats what happens. To the OP: if you play enough you will get to this point.
I've lost to so may 2 outers, 1 outers, runner runners, running everythings that I hardly even notice.
"wow, that guy just hit runner runner quads to beat my aces full boat. oh well, who cares"

then I try to guess how I will be sucked out

i do this all the time and my wife calls me a pessimist... but honestly, she thinks that i minimize my chances at getting more chips in the middle and from all of the other players because even with my insistance that i'm not playing scared she yells at me and tells me that every time i have TPTK does not mean i'm up against 2 pair and everytime i have 2 pair i'm not up against a set, etc. etc.

bottom line: i get more upset when i don't get all my chips in when i have the best of it, then i do if i get sucked out on in the process.

I just tell myself that I got exactly what I wanted(all my chips in with the best of it) and that the majority of the time I will take the other players chips. It gets easier the more SNG's you play because you can actually begin to see your favored hands holding up as often as they should. It is tough at times though, after a few suckouts in a row I start losing my cool.
