Hi,
simply - HELP...I"m tired of getting bad beats (won"t mention it again) online, but more than that, I"m sick and tired of getting sooo mad about it. I physical feel myself boiling up.
for example..I played a simple tournie...KQ, 4x bb...1 caller...K high flop...all in, got called by K2....runner runner for straight....ffs. not a major beat, just a stupid call by matey..unavoidable, but i wanna actually go mad and shout (im a timid shy guy in the real world!!)
Went cash and blew my roll in around 20mins. ffs.
I play with no distractions, (Tv, internet etc) have my i-pod in..and do focus ( so i believe)
yet time and time again, i **** myself. I have joined a new site, with the user name Discipline as a reminder, and a password that i have to type in which ensures im ready to play and in the right mood.
Im stuck... any tips? ???

There`s nothing wrong with steaming just don`t get mad at your money.
-
avoid the cash tables when you"re steaming from a bad beat.
Just remember - you REALLY WANTED that call with K2!!

Getting mad is ultimately your choice ... if you enjoy getting mad keep getting mad ... if you don"t STOP!
It"s up to you ...

Give the cat a right good kick, instant remorse removes the anger.

all very valid help....TY...it was around 3 hours and it still bothering me, that can"t be right!
playing too much % of bankroll at a time maybe the reason?
each hit hurts too much, I think that is the main issue -that and i have no control over poker rage!!
(that and road rage, when 1 lane is closed for 800 yards, but cars still go past you and try to nip in further down.... >:( )

Lol, why queue when you can nip past? What winds me up is when the wagon drivers span both lanes so you cant get past.

ive seen me burst a bankroll many a time with similar experiences
i took the advice in one mag once on having a proper bankroll and one for when drunk/on tilt
i play my silly money on gala and when i take bad beats i seem to play in silly super turbos -60 chips and blinds start at 10/20
seen me take many a big bankroll hit playinjg these trying to even out the bad beats

like having a poket site just to play when ur steaming -this could work!

Volume ftw...
How many games at a time or in any one session do you play? I used to play one or two (maximum) tournies at a time or per session. Now I play 3 or 4 and if I am only playing one or two I am winding down at the end of a session or have another ready to fire up once busted. Get into the mindset that it"s only one tourney and another one will be along in a minute if you"re one or two tabling or if you"re 4 tabling you normally wont have time to get mad as the other tables will need attention - I make my decision then immediately switch focus to another table... If your playing volume you get used to going out of tournies and seeing numerous bad beats, it"s a part of poker everyone needs to get used to. Shhh happens and it IS true that you want those calls in the long run, you just don"t really see the rewards of the long run for a while if you"re one/two tabling imo.

Top posting chris. Volume ftw!! Great for the mindset.

Top posting chris. Volume ftw!! Great for the mindset.
In a way yes, but if he really cant control his tilt rage he will likely go bust on every open table.

Yeah at first but I do honestly believe it will eventually help with the tilt. I used to go on super tilt when busting from tournies but playing more tables/tournies, seeing more hands and being forced to care a little less about each one due to being slightly less focussed on one specific table definitely helped me tilt less. You lose a slight edge with less focus per table but it"s worth it imo.
-
Main thing is to stay away from the cash tables when your steaming, cos you just end up chasing and we all know what happens then. Been there done that!
Personally I have stopped playing cash altogether and play one or two table SNGs, this way a bad beat only tends to cost you that one buy in. This is working for me and I am building my roll back from a very precarious position.
-
Recommend reading - The Poker Mindest by Matthew Hilger and Ian Taylor, I found it very interesting and for a good time, beats didnt bother me too much, thinking on its probably time I took my own advice and reread it.

What are you getting angry at, them making a bad call, or the fact they"ve outdrawn you?
-
just get mad- tilting off 2k can help
-
wee all get bad beats and get mad wee all say something like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u luky baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast? how can u call with that u fish or something in thoses lines so what do you do you could head but you husband or even better take up yoga and learn how 2 relex its very easy remember patience a virtue you dont see pros tilt very often so as franky goes toohollywood says RELEX dont do it if you want to loose all your money RELEX RELEX RELEX

Lack of something, definitely.

both, but this isn"t a poor ole me thread..heck i have had worse beats as we all have had, and will continue to get, it is just it effects me so much. It shouldn"t I know but it does.
I"m really struggling at the moment to build a roll to climb the ladders to supposedly play better players, whilst still learning myself.
I have a lot to learn I know, but with my level being at the bottom buy ins , i want to move up, but just get so annoyed at getting annoyed when SSh happens.
options -
1) quit, im just not cut out for it.
2) save up and buy in a roll bigger and keep playing, but more focussed, disciplined, and volume games ftw.
i saw recently at 5/10 the bankroll should be $200
-
try this play 2 tournys every day for 2weeks the same ones you should get a good result its worked for me and a few other players ino remember the same 2 every day try it and see

Why are you getting angry with him making the call? That"s how you make profit as a poker player - other players making mistakes. So why get angry about it?
As others have said, play more volume. Then you can get beyond getting upset at variance.

ok just curious, and unlucky on the beat!

What winds me up is when the wagon drivers span both lanes so you cant get past.
Agreed, whats worse is when the cheeky fooker in the slow lane speeds up so the pleb in the middle lane cant overtake em! And your stuck behind the pled in the middle and no feck"n numpty in the fast lane will let you over take these jive turkey lorry driving gut bargers.
RE Discipline and tilt, I suggest spreading your roll across a few different sites I know it sounds daft but subconsioulsy I feel much better, epsecially if I havent played on a site for a while and swicth over to them when running a bit bad else where.
That volume thing as well.
Also... smile in the face of variance... its part of poker and if you can develope a good mental reaction to badbeats then overall you"ll become an better player imo if afterwards your throwing money away.
