Your worst tilt
To start it off mine is from when i had first started playing.
Bankroll management was superb and with £500 in my account i loaded up 5 nl100 tables.
As the number of tables reduced i was getting more and more upset.
Finally on my last table open i was all in, can't remember the hands but i got rivered.
Laptop was launched through the open bedroom window. Was a little difficult explaining to girlfriend, now wife, how the laptop had developed a fault.
Most grotesque i ever saw was playing live at Gala.
Chap lost his money, got up, walked around the table and spat in the face of the lad who had won the pot.
Happy days!

You should play 100nl off a roll of £2.5k ABSOLUTE minimum, ideally £4k
I was there that night.
Probably best we don't name names, but what a do that was.
I saw a fight there one night, over.....wait for it.
It was Level 5 or 6 in a Tourney, & they were colouring up the 25's.
There was some dispute on where the Button should be placed for this, & a chap ended up getting nothing for his 1 x 25.
The Blinds were about to go 600-1,200, & the average stack was around 28,000.
And the guy who felt he had been cheated out of his potential colouring up "bonus" chip (100) started effing & blinding, ended up hitting another player, & got himself banned for life.
What a powerful & negative force these folks with anger management problems, or "tilt" as it is now known, have to deal with. I actually do feel sorry for trhem.
100 chips when the Average was 28,000, & he could not handle the thought that he may have been diddled out of 100 chips, poor soul.
Very occasionally I blurt out the odd profanity towards my PC Monitor, after that i'm usually back in the driving seat.
I may have lost the odd pot in an MTT or lost a DYM due to frustration but i'm usually quite passive on the tables most of the time.
Personaly I think poker is best played with "few little words"
