[Closed] Broken glass, dustpan and my nerves

Yeah....that s***ts happeneds . Just go to nl2 and do wild for some time, that help me every time...and in your case probably save u another table

Have someone else watch you play. You'll be too embarrassed to make stupid mistakes, thereby enforcing self-control. Also, never play with the mindset that you "deserve" to win, that's a highway to tilt. But first relax and do something fun to get poker out of your head.

I have been there before, i still punch the table every now and then, but it is padded where i hit it. I decided to switch to MTT's, so when that did happen i only lost my buy-in, which is only $3.

That's i learned how to cope with the bad beats.

Good luck at the tables next time you play, and that was some good advice, never think that you should win the hand, it is a recipe for disaster.

This is just fckn bs!!!! I swear to god I h8 this fckn game... This is turning out to be one of the sickest months of my life... It is just a complete bullshit! Fckn stars, poker, stupid ppl playing poker and everything together I hope they burn in hell fckn pieces of shit!!!!

"yeaaahhh it could be worse" ... yeah but it could be better... every fckn time I set up a goal and points I have to achieve everything gets fcked up...

buuuuuulllshiiiiittttt... and I broke my keyboard... luckily I can afford my self a new one with this months poker earnings ... oh wait no I cant cuz some fucktards make it their hobby sucking out on ppl ...

I just h8 the air surronding me now..

.... just saying

gl;)

I know!!! But its out of stock on stars... ♠_frown:

U make several mistakes in ur poker "mindset." Cool off, go over what u wrote a few more times and figure em out. If u can't u either aren't cut out to be a poker player or u just CBA to put in the effort. I'll let u decide which is worse.

I will say though that u remind me a bit of myself in some ways. I only broke one little magnet however but mentally I was raving about how certain days went poker-wise. Takes a lot to get over these issues ...

Hi again! Don`t wanna open another thread.

It is just silly this month. I didn`t have tilt outbursts anymore, but by now I am just feeling really really sad. It is unbelievable how many setups and coolers I suffer. At this point I know I will lose 85% of hands regardless of their strenght. It is than hard for me to play my A game, but I am giving it my best. And as hard I try to rise my spirits up and gain my confidece there comes another blow as soon as I start feeling comfertable.

So here is the graph...

I think you should take a break for like two weeks. I did the same once when i lost my entire roll in a week, and it really helped me. If you feel like ur gonna lose every hand you play, you shouldnt play at all.

I can give u poker mindset book pm me!

Imo you have to control you're tilting. Everybody has bad days like that. When ever you got a hand they just fold, when your bluffing they keep calling you. You lose with aces 3 times in a row, but shit like that happens a lot and if you really have to control your tilt issues. You generally lose more from tilting then from those few bad beats.

The fact is that everybody tilts. Nobody plays the same way when they're winning as when they are losing. But good players learn to control it. When you see yourself tilting just take a break. Maybe you need a week, whereas somebody only needs 5minutes.

Hi again!

It really doesn`t affect me in that way... Cuz I am down like 20bi this month... And pure tilt took away like 3-4...

I keep playing... Have a nice start... Like earlier... Get up like stack or two... Not that it matters... And than the horror begins...

I mean hell... I picked these just random. Plenty more where those came from... And this is just todays session. It won`t go away if I stopped playing. Cuz I had a day or two break came back and it is just the same shit!

I don't know if the coaches would approve of what I'm about to advise, but have a back-up game. For me, it's SnG, and whenever I feel like lady Luck is having some pesky sadistic fun at my expense in ring games, I play some STTs to have a change of scenery. It's helpful to play a game with different dynamics for variation, and it gives you an impression of a fresh start. Of course every hand is a fresh start, but psychologically it helps you settle into that mindset with more ease than just continuously telling yourself that the odds are always the same.

The same happened to me today:

If it makes you feel better, you're not alone... Nothing's worse than being drawing dead and getting there. I have taken some really bad beats on AP in past two days.

Hey, Gregor, it's made me feel a little better reading this post. I am a winning player over hundreds of thousands of hands and have hit probably the worst swing of my poker existence.

Currently I am 16bi below AI expected value (BSS), and I have a strong feeling the state of my true expected value is a LOT worse.

So many runner-runner straights, rivering sets/quads, set over set coolers, my graph is ridiculous.

Well, I got pretty mad like you. Except I didn't smash anything. I just stuck my entire bankroll on the roulette wheel.

Fortunately I was lucky. For now the downswing has stopped, but I'm still suffering an unreal amount of bad beats, just not so many coolers. Any time I win a buyin I'm usually bad-beat out of it pretty quickly. My graph is horizontal (break-even) while AI-EV line slowly goes up.

Worst 25k hands of my life. Perhaps I'll post the graph....but I'm going to play more hands first, it's turning into something truly spectacular.
