Answer for me is no but almost. When I came in 14th many years ago in a sattellite for the Party cruise and got 50 bucks when 12th was a $12000 package, I very nearly cried. I didn't have a job at the time to boot. By far the toughest loss I've had to take (and I've played ALOT of poker). Took me a good week to get over it.

Yes

Last winter I played in a big leather cushy chair. The way I sat turned a potential back problem into the most painful 6 months of my life. Iwas in tears (well maybe near tears) every morrning until the vic and flexeral kicked in.

LOL, i remember that. "I played so hard for 2 weeks." The guy really did look like he was going to cry, like 95% there. Is that really you??

Two weeks ago I had a 4th place finish in the $3r, $7K guaranteed on Full Tilt, and I cried tears of joy after taking home $792 for 4th place. One of the best days ever.

For me it usually starts with anger and rage but by the end of an awful session I feel nothing but self-pity and worthlessness.

Is the ratio really at ~2:3 for the wimps?

And I thought not many women play poker...

No way. Angry, or nothing. I never get "sad" when I lose.

Anger is a secondary emotion, most often masking the primary emotion of sadness or confusion.

I've broken a mouse and beat the hell out of my keyboard, but never shed a tear.

i did but not from a bad beat. Full tilt closed my 2nd account (which i made to get rakeback) and i thought they were going to take the 4k away from me that was in that account.
