I'm angry (to myself) in case I realise I made huge mistakes during the game, but it doesn't last long as life goes on.
In case of losing due to variance, so be it, I will not be angry.
I do always care at least a bit however because after all we just don't want to lose a game.

In poker, emotions only hurt..... Miscalculations are less memorable..... And besides, they betray...)

You are not to have any feelings towards losing because it’s a game of variation if I got a dollar 💵 every time I get sucked out on I would be rich. Just know that it’s all about playing the hand correct.good luck. I am not a robot so I feel mad 😡 when that happens. But there is always another game.

2, having a lot of bad beats lately, geting in with 80% or more equity and losing, really frustrating but thats poker.

Mere mins because as a competitive guy I hate losing and I'm passionate. However never going to win the next one thinking about the last one. So it's on to the next one fairly quick for me.

Cheers!!!

At a certain point, when the barrage of signals and reactions is no longer processed by the brain and, so to speak, “sent accurately to the addresses”, “overload” occurs, and we begin to lose control over emotions and our behavior in the environment that gave rise to them.You will lose health and deplete your body's resources, spend energy on unnecessary emotions and worries, and also see your schedule, bankroll and desire to play fall. The same analogy applies to any important matter in life.Anger is your enemy, but I personally never get angry.

Usually if I'm angry, I'm angry to myself because of mistakes I've made during the game. Of course, there are moments when I remember tournaments and ridiculous defeats for a long time. For example, when I got eliminated within 4 hands in the Sunday Million last winter (when my “KK” lost to “A10” in all-in on pre-flop). :mad:

For me it all depends on my mood and the importance of the game. When you're angry you need to let off steam to make it easier.

Poker brings me a profit, so in general, poker only has a positive effect on my psychological state. But sometimes I can lose money on slots and then I get angry.

There were a couple of cases when I stopped playing poker for 2-3 days. Then the anger disappeared...

I have been playing poker for 50+ years now and if I got angry every time I lose
a poker game I would be in a permanent state of anger.
Once a poker game is over win or lose you can't change the result, if you have lost just
hope the poker Gods are on your side in you next game.

I lost several times at the final table of a big tournament and I was very upset because I couldn't even sleep.

I don't lose money.
But of course, I don't always win it. If I don't win, I don't get angry, I just realise that it wasn't my day. And if there are things that make me angry in poker, it's just my inattention and the terrible software on the Replay.

Hello everyone. Yes, I get angry sometimes, especially when I lose in a tournament where I paid a buy-in. I’m learning to let it go, not to hold onto it in my head – but if it doesn’t work, I take a break and start with freerolls. What throws me off balance even more is a bad internet connection.

if you made it to the finals in a big tournament, it's already ok (for example, Sunday Million)

At first I was upset for a long time when I was eliminated from a tournament, but then I realized how much time I wasted with it. You can't always win, you have to accept that. Of course, you can think about what would have happened for a long time afterward, and you should actually learn from these losses.
The sure way is that after a failed tournament, I don't play again that day. (Of course, this is only if the tournament lasted for 1-2 or more hours.)

After a few years of playing, I usually don't get mad about losing poker, but there are still times when I need to take a break from playing.

Nowadays I don't even care about losses or bads, after a few years of poker vice gets used to these things and it becomes irrelevant

I get upset after poker losses, but not for long – usually no more than an hour. If the loss is caused by a mistake in my play, I may stay upset for longer, maybe even half a day, depending on the importance of the tournament. But I forget about it quickly after any win.
