Default What do you do when you win a huge pot online?

Do you just not do anything and treat it the same as any other hand, win or lose? Are you playing 8 tables so you don't have time to do anything? Do you say 'Yes!' and leave it at that? A fist pump? Something else? I wanted to do a poll on this, but there are far too many options out there. Personally, I jump up out of my chair, pump the fist, and say 'F*CK YEA, F*CK YEA MOTHERF*CKER... F*CK YOU!'.. I get myself pretty worked up. This is only for really big pots though.

I jerk off... j/k. I don't do anything.

Only when I suck out on the river do I sometimes start laughing and shouting.

It varies. Most often I do nothing. I almost never do anything when I have the nuts because I already know I'm going to win the hand.

When I do react usually its because I'm having a very bad session and the big pot is very uplifting. Or when I've made the crying call in a big pot that I'm pretty sure I've lost but it ends up coming my way.

A fist pump and sometimes a "YES!" is my reaction.

But because I play limit and there's almost never a hand big enough to make my session, much less my day or week, I tend not to be overly hystrionic about any one hand.

DMX from TILT says " Get it on the floor!" Ok, this doesn't have anything to do with your question, and DMX isn't even in TILT.

Default Re: What do you do when you win a huge pot online?

It's sort of an old habit I've had since started playing video games back in the day. I would do it whenever I had been stuck on a difficult part of a game and had finally passed it.

I give the TV the finger and mutter some expletives.

In poker, I only do it when the situaion was particularly difficult, and I've made a really tough play.
Obviously there has to be a positive result for me to do this. But you get the picture.

I never do this in live play. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Oddly enough, I really don't get the urge to do it in live play. I think it's all about the screen.

I stop crying about the bad beat I just took two minutes ago.

Default Re: What do you do when you win a huge pot online?

Well, most of my big pots have come off of allins preflop with High Pocket pairs.

So first I pray for a fold (if there's dead money).
If called, I pray for low cards (no flush/no straights) to avoid likely sets/no ace/no king.
Then I take a deep breath. Thank my lucky stars because 80/20 is good, but never guaranteed (especially if you have a good chunk of your roll in play)
Kick few bets back into the game and leave if I don't hit anything
