fortunately I (still?) haven't had these kind of moments, maybe cause when I begin o tilt i quit pokersessions (even if it is started since few minutes) and do something else. doing this way I never lost more than 20-30$ in a single session (but I have to say I only play at NL10 and lately NL20 and DONs SNG $5 $10 and from time to time $20). I'm sorry for your bad feeling, quit a bit read something about p***********y (I suggest to start from our poker strategy section, it is very useful to me) be critic with your playing style, analyze it...and you will grow up in poker

Take a few days off poker, only come back to it when you're ready and you'll be fine. Seeing how you're fuming here I guess you must have tilted pretty bad and that's when you'll play the worst...
Chill for a while and you'll be the one winning every pot.
BTW, yes I have had this kind of moment and TBH I did let it get to me when I started playing poker. But once you realise that this is a sure way to lose money, you'll find a way to cope with it
I here you. I can't say exactly but I recently took a break from poker over the holidays and when I returned I had a down swing then took another week off. Now things have seemed to start working themselves back up again. I think you have to look at what's going on to have these types of swings. Anyway, have a good one.

Happens to me every game lately. It's not the game, it's the players that have gone to s**t. Every knob-end with a net connection is on a poker site or 12 these days. none , or very few of them, can actually play. it's become online Bingo really. Decent players are getting raped all over the pokerrooms.
You shouldn't even have bothered to put the "no" option in there, because I sincerely believe that EVERYONE has had one of those moments, and if they claim they haven't then I truly think they're liars, plain and simple. Sure, no player is imune to this kind of feeling, the only important difference between a good and a bad player is how he deals with. You can go on tilt and indeed say "f**k the game", and mostly they include (but don't even say it) "f**k the money" and just play on without thinking. The good ones take a break, a deep breath, or even stop playing for the day, and later just start over with the best of spirits. Self-confidence, character and persistance are the keywords for a good player, and those who have these traits will make it through every rough patch.
Yes it happened and happens; not only when I lose money cracked with AA vs 810 allin preflop but when I see donkeys call with nothing, winning and shouting at me '' donk, you're a fish ''....

Well, i have had these kinds of bad sessions, once lost in a heads up about 800$ and thought i would never play again, but took it down a notch to lower stakes and try to make some cash in the long run, not a quick hit and run.

I think there is a misconception here...people getting outdrawn whine all the time about how "donks play bad" and so on and so on. But poker is not like chess. In chess, you make idiotic moves, you lose. In poker, you make idiotic moves, you may win. Therefore you have to *adjust* to people making donk moves. Rule #1: don't make the pot enormous with mediocre hands. And yes, AA on a non-rainbow board can be a mediocre hand against these type of players. Don't let the pot balloon too much, control it; at least you won't lose that much when you get out-rape-drawn

Very good advice. I do that when I am beginning to be on tilt...
