Just wondered how different people get over bad beats/tilt?

ive found that im slowly becoming hardened to this aspect of the game. If i get real tilted i can walk away far easier than i used to now, where as before i would be more likely to go above my bankroll and take a shot.

I generally tend to throw stuff (small things like rubber balls) and then bitch about it over IM to Alex or someone else.

I would suggest making sure you always have a girlfriend/wife/blow-up-doll to help you with this issue.

Takes your mind off of the bad beats and once you get back to the table you are far more relaxed. Works a treat!

:kh :jd

Flop - :jc :3s :6d I raise 2/3 pot, Villian calls.

Turn :kd - I raise to put villian all in, he calls

he flips over :4d :4s :eek:

River :4c :rant: :mad: :rant: :eek:

You just have to get used to it...if it wasn't for bad beats only good poker players would play poker and we'd all be broke...

There is no such thing as a bad beat.

it's part of the game . i hate getting rivered . when i do . sometimes i want to jump through the screen . here's a hand that my buddy wanted to slit his throat . litterally...

he was playing 2/4 NL
He had about 500, other guy about the same ... he gets dealt pocket AA's... flop comes A A 7s (preflop he raised about 25$). He checks guy raises 30, hero reraises to 60, guy calls, next card came was a 9s.. hero checks, guy raises 30, he doubles him to 60, guy calls, river comes a 5s or the 10s . i dont remember what one.. anyways ... he had 8 6 spades . ... lost his bankroll... and never has been back to online poker... i dont blame him

I usually laugh it off, although I dont know if Id be able to handle my quads losing to a straight flush.

i can walk away from it... put on some good tunes or the tv... or just stop playing for a while... it's not too hard for me...

the ironic thing is after i started this thread i hit the worst run of cards ive had for a couple weeks........and i tilted bad. i try to just walk away but its hard sometimes.
