Open Side Menu Go to the Top

This happens to me all the time... I play $10 FL HU SNGs (which game is a secret, people may guess and get a cookie if they're right) and get sooooo frustrated in situations where I feel I know exactly where I'm at in a pot but just don't get the right cards and just have to fold or even call down out of frustration knowing I'm beat. And then the next hand is crap too and I get so frustrated I start smashing my mouse.

The second time I smashed my mouse i was down to 300 chips (starting stack 1500), played on with the in-build mouse and still won. Went back to the store with it, "forgot" to mention I smashed it myself and got a free new one.

Third time I smashed it again, again won the game, screwed it open, two parts fell out, put it back together and worked like a charm again

Since then my mouse is starting to remind me of Vegeta in Dragonball Z who just gets stronger after every beat... it nearly seems indestructable. Just now I gave it the beating of its life while playing a mediocre opponent who always got the right cards when the pot was reraised and only got bad cards when it wasnt reraised... or so it seemed. Still won the game after being down to 500 twice.

My winrate at these is about 70% which is pretty damn good, but these anger issues really make it a whole lot less fun. Every time it happens again I feel so stupid... smashing my mouse over a game I win anyhow... but for some reason I just can't help it.

Try smashing the entire laptop next time. You might win the WSOP.

cliff notes -

he loses sometimes
he smashes his mouse when he loses
the mouse is growing stronger
the mouse raped him in the bathroom after becoming self aware

After my peak I got a pretty bad downswing at $20 so I quit and started practicing $2 HU PLO, hence the BE part of the graph, lately I've started again, back at the $10.

Since you like to smash stuff when you get pissed, I recommend this keyboard from Microsoft:



I know from experience they are practically indestructable!

Could try smashing your fingers next time, the method seems to help people produce money when loan sharks use it.

I say go for it.
