How I feel has less to do with poker and more to do with the players. I don't play online, only live. I have the most fun at a loud, boisterous table full of drunks (myself included). Just grinding away silently with 8 other people drinking tea and black coffee bores me to tears.

If I made the right decision but got unlucky, I audibly grown, reload, and buy a beer. Especially if the other player is terrible and keeps making bad but expensive moves. If however the losses were my own fault, I sulk a bit and go get drunk at a bar and do something else (karaoke, dance, etc) to move my mind off it.

Losses don't hurt, being embarrassed and making bad decisions hurts. Yet I keep making them. ... hm.
