Title: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: Claw75 on July 31, 2008, 10:53:26 PM no, I'm not talking about avatars :)
Matt and I were just having a conversation because I've noticed he'll react to hand physically and vocally whilst he's playing online, and apparently does so when he's on his own too. When I'm playing online poker anyone watching me wouldn't be able to tell if I had just won a huge pot or indeed lost one as I just don't react at all. Which of us is 'normal'? ;D Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: Graham C on July 31, 2008, 10:56:54 PM I tend to bounce up and down from time to time and react to big hands when playing on line. Don't tend to do it live though.

Post by: LeKnave on July 31, 2008, 11:05:08 PM when i jam with air and am staring @ the spot in front of them to see if chips pop out. if chips pop out i swear some1 nails me in the stomach.
iv also punched many walls and bk in the day my head, grown out of tht 1 tho. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: thetank on July 31, 2008, 11:19:12 PM I'm usually calm, although I do some version of an Ali-G boyakasha hand thing when I win a critical pot.
Sometimes I hurt my fingers and have to use the mouse left handed for a bit while they recover. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: Longy on July 31, 2008, 11:20:52 PM I will be totally unanimated most of time, to all of sudden moments of pure rage. These normally involve swearing v loud, punching the desk and when things going real bad throwing the nearest random object across the room. Unfortunately a number of these items have proved breakable in the past.

Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: kinboshi on July 31, 2008, 11:39:29 PM I don't do it anymore, but I have smacked things. The desk, the chair, the wall. The wall hurts the most, and that reminds me, I still need some polyfilla for the office.
Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: cdw1111 on July 31, 2008, 11:55:17 PM I actually punched my laptop which once is funny because playing live even when i've taken a massive beat i'am pretty calm.

Post by: Jim-D on August 01, 2008, 12:06:07 AM I actually punched my laptop which once is funny because playing live even when i've taken a massive beat i'am pretty calm. lol I actually punched the screen of my ex's laptop after losing a few big cash hands in a row, it was proper bolloxed so i blamed it on the dog knocking it off the table Gotta love new for old insurance... Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: Ismene on August 01, 2008, 12:09:22 AM TBH it depends: If i slap the sofa I am far less likely to tilt, than if i just swallow the beat silently. Live - one tune comes on the ipod and repeats till a cold calm settles.
It's been known to repeat without interruption for up to half an hour.... However on my way to the cold calm in my head - the body has been known "dance" and the silent karaoke come out in force....

Gotta win a pot first. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: Claw75 on August 01, 2008, 12:25:53 AM interesting replies - thanks. Looks like I'm on my own! Don't know if it's just because I'm pretty laid back - maybe I don't care enough? I simply don't get excited or annoyed enough to react when I'm playing.
Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: amcgrath1uk on August 01, 2008, 12:37:08 AM When I won my biggest tournament to date ( for approx $2k) I ran around my flat for a few seconds like a lunatic!

Post by: MANTIS01 on August 01, 2008, 02:04:14 AM Live not bothered at all. Internet is different. I have developed a good coping mechanism for deep bad beats which involves shadow boxing around the room pretending to love the pain. Bring the pain. I am finding this approach is wearing thin quicker than expected. However, my fitness has improved significanly.

Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: thetank on August 01, 2008, 04:23:57 AM I usually opt for "Shhiiiippiiiitt"
The bigger the pot, the longer it lasts. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: MereNovice on August 01, 2008, 04:52:03 AM I fist pump (rather pathetically) when I win a big pot against a serial bully/bluffer.
When I get a bad beat, I swear and momentarily think about chucking the laptop before regaining composure (to date, anyway). When I win a decent pot through superior play I drink champagne (well, I will if it ever happens). Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: phatomch on August 01, 2008, 01:00:26 PM i normaly suffer from tourette's when playing online even when i am winning ill call someone all the names under the sun to help them call /fold, and iv'e got through atleast 3 mouse's this year 1 of them is still embeded in the wall

Post by: ericstoner on August 01, 2008, 05:18:38 PM I've been beaten down so much reacently i just stare at the screen in ashtonisment.
Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: PocketLady on August 01, 2008, 07:48:55 PM I swear at the screen and talk to myself and occasionally feel the need to chuck it out the window. Live I just shut up and get on with it...people can hear me then!
Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: RED-DOG on August 01, 2008, 08:06:11 PM The only time I get animated is when I play badly. I can take the beats etc no problem, but I HATE TO PLAY BADLY!!!
I did it in the laddies 30k last night, I flopped a house and was milking a maniac calling station but I got counterfeited on the end. I knew I had. He pushed and I STILL MADE THE CALL. I gave my self a right dressing down, and I won't forgive myself until I win something. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: WECpoker on August 03, 2008, 11:29:52 PM I throw whatever is near me...TV Remote, Stress Ball :), etc.
If its a beat that takes me out of a tournament I hit the sofa hard, throw my pillow against the wall, and yell out several expletives So it doesnt get out of hand a make a point of going out the door and taking a walk at least around the block to cool down Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online?

I gave my self a right dressing down, and I won't forgive myself until I win something. I am exactly the same. No control over bad beats or whether you win or lose races, or when someone makes a strange play - but I can certainly control when I put my money in or not. The only time I get angry is when I play badly. I'm often an angry man. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online? Post by: ShatnerPants on August 04, 2008, 04:23:57 PM The other day I managed a 'Oooooh that hurt' when my KJ lost to KT on a KxxKT board ( The money went in on the turn btw )
But I'm worse when I'm bluffing. I shout at my villain to fold, not to be so stupid as to call, can't you see I'm representing aces you eejit. Doesn't seem to work so far, but I'm sure I'll keep on trying. Title: Re: how animated are you when you play online?

Post by: Graham C on August 04, 2008, 08:59:27 PM I've played quite a lot of tourneys yesterday and today (and plan to do so this week whilst the Missus is away and I've found myself becoming increasingly more animated as time goes on. I've even been making sarky comments to the donkeys when they outdraw me which is very unusual for me as I tend to avoid the chat box. I think I'll try and stop commenting in it from now on. I don't throw moody's though unless like Red mentioned when you play bad. I did earlier, made a stupid bet to ruin my table image earlier on which I was really annoyed with

Post by: Claw75 on August 04, 2008, 11:24:30 PM I may be slightly more animated than I thought.
