blonde poker forum

Has any one been so pissed off with poker u decide to go mad and smash the closest things to you.

I think I have smashed
a phone
A monitor
Lap top x 3 (thank god for insurance)
Keyboard

I don't think I have rage issues. I also never get poker rage playing live.

What are ur experience

you have rage issues imo

Are you really that bad at poker? :D

blatant i commit insurance fraud brag

Yes

Also abit of a cry baby when I lose

Seriously, if a trivial thing like poker does this to you , you should give up playing as its not good for your long term health.

i always thought this was you Paul

I shout and swear a lot, and I hurt my hand a bit earlier from slamming the desk repeatedly when a 10%er got there heads up in a 180-man earlier today...but that's about the extent of it. The neighbours probably think I'm a bit crazy lol...

lol @ that clip btw...

Been through lots of mice mouses in my time!

Also I forgot to include that my brother likes to reset the router randomly
Regardless of what situation. I remember he did that during a heads up tourney(last 4) and sat to a dtd.
I missed my redic short top up opportunity and lost my heads up match

I wasn't too happpy

Was your brother insured?

lol - your brother is a legend!

I occasionaly snap pens in two or slam them into the desk, shout the c word (medium shout), or open palm slap/punch of my soft furnishings. All pretty tame.

That's when I lived by myself, when I'm around other people I can control myself easily enough. The occasional loud sigh or groan is all anyone is going to witness me doing.

A bit of rage is ok imo, like if you're watching a football game and your team gets scored on. Smashing up hardware is probably a step too far. You might want to look at that.

Online I think the worst Ive said has been FFS!!!!!!

Live I try not to say anything other  than nice hand

if your breaking things then you really need to play at a lower level but I guess its akin to the golfer who breaks his clubs, if your not enjoying it take a break

Are you Kenneth Williams?

If you want me to be

The red mist often descends when I am playing, though I can only recollect smashing a cup and a remote control in my time. It's weird as there is nothing else in my life that has reached the pure blind rage I sometimes feel when playing poker online, the closest I reckon is going to watch Norwich play and getting done over by some dodgy reffing decisions but even then it is not the same pure anger I feel when grinding.

I thing it is the complete lack of control over the luck factor, despite doing what you "know" is the correct play. You feel some what wronged for no good reason, I find the anger subsides very quickly and that I will be fine within 10 mins of finishing a session.

Have to agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

When you know you made the correct play (although correct play is subjective ) then I dont worry about it

if i know that 9/10 Ill win the hand then on the one time i do lose I console myself with the fact that 9 previous times ive won doing the same thing

i had an unfortunate incident when late in a tournament i suffered a disgusting 2 outer or something for half my stack, i smashed the wireless mouse down hard enough to fire the batteries across the floor, whilst retreiving the batteries of course i got dealt aces and the race was on to find them and get them back in, 2 all ins in front of me and chip leading big stack within reach. I didn't make it and watched them get folded. bad times.

Usually typing sh*t in the chatbox lets off enough steam, but I have a self imposed chat ban on most sites I play these days because it was getting out of hand...beyond maybe hitting the wall or my head a few times, I prefer more classic degenerate reactions to losing, like throwing a lot of money on online roulette and losing it all fast....bit like when chefs burn their hands they stick it in a bucket of boiling water...

Live I don't say anything to anyone at any time regardless....
