Worst/silliest thing you've done after a bad-beat?

edited July 2011 in Poker Chat
I've holes in my walls covered by pictures where I've punched my way through.

I've knocked myself out head-butting a door frame and woken covered in blood. Which, to be fair, amused me upon waking.

I'm actually quite mild mannered so imagine there's been worse?

Those were in the early days where it astounded me that I could lose with the likes of top pair. And I now have  a slam-man that takes the bulk. I really should be more stoical. But just can't be when alone. I still scream at empty rooms. "Mutha-", well, yes.

Live I'm more likely to walk away with my lip trembling trying to fight the tears.

Jee-zo I hate poker as much as I love it.

    Ive only just started playing on sky poker and only playing small stakes for receation at the mo but before i played here i was a reg player at stakes up to $25/$50nl and after floping quads one day only to see runner runner quads beat me for a $17k pot i did the craziest thing ive ever done through a badbeat.

    I went on a $250/$500nl table and played like a total loon and cost myself another $35k.

    Never again though cos while im playing on low stakes beats just go over my head and if i ever start playing higher again and the same was to happen i would now just leave the pc and have a cuppa instead lol ( alot cheaper )  :)

    Kicked the wall and broke my big toe just slightly beats the time I raised my mouse above my head and obliterated it completely by smashing full force back onto the sliding shelf on my desk that my keyboard sits on which in turn took the hinges and brackets that supports said shelf right off the wood. My my, that was a costly beat.

    I've toned it down these days now I just shout profanities at the top of my lungs at 3am

    Ive only been playing poker about 2-3 months now and it has turned me from a guy with a very good temper to a raving lunatic lol

    Must have felt like smashing my laptop about 10 times in the time i have played and can only see things getting worse !

    By the way Jenny i spoke to someone who said he knew you on here last week and he told me that you were a high stakes player in the past but i said i had only seen you playing 50nl at the highest and it was hard to believe but i guess from reading your post above he is right and from seeing you playing on tv you did seem alot better than the guys you were playing against.

    Any free coaching would be much apreciated lol ))

    The silliest thing i do after a bad beat is WALK straight unto another one ;)

    I used to have a mouse mat which had plastic fish swimming around in it (it had water inside).

    After one particularly annoying loss I slammed my fist down on it. Big splurt of water across the desk and no more mouse mat.

    They were quite expensive and I didn't have much money. I was really upset about it :(

    No animals were harmed in the making of this bad beat.

    Ploppy just enjoys taxidermy.
