The proper way to handle this is to quit playing for the day. However I can't do this. No matter how hard I try. I just go in deeper and deeper, risking more, fcking up proper bankroll management. I wasted several free bankrolls, and seriously thinking of giving this up.

STOP PLAYING. SO YOU DO NOT TILT.
In tournament take note on every hand you lose. Analyze them afterwards. Is you did right damn the gods, if wrong remember it and used it.
Remember that if you got bad beaten it means you put your money in good. Remember what a 40% really means. Remember to NOT go all-in unless desperate in a tournament, in cash just reload, don't play with a short stack.
One more thing: Stop playing. Take a brake, go outside, shower, etc. whatever work for you.

If it hurts A LOT, then I think you were staking too much relative to your bankroll. If you are playing a tournament, with a lot of chips (say in 4° position) close to prizes and a player force you all in with your KK, and you lose... sure get drunk. I kind of feel the sky falling on my and it last around 3-4 minutes, the next 15' are a feeling of dissapointment, and this is the best place to re-tought your play as VanDerGomez said. Then, when you feel ok again, continue playing, that time varies. The real problem, and that happened to me a lot, is that on losing I try to recover fast be it becaming impatient or higher buy-ins. Emotions are for us to recognize on others and exploit, not for us to play with in my opinion.

looll,,, the same old story how long you been playing my friend??????? anyway to be sierious for a moment which for me takes some concentration,,,,,,,,do you have a cat??? I find that grabbing it by the tail and swinging it round my head helps, but this may end you up in trouble if the nieghbours see you so if you decide on this course of action close the curtains,,,if this does not work I find that sticking 1 finger in my left ear and farting can have the same effect,, or ,, now this is the final resort so take care,,, crawl under the table and bite the basstard in the nuts,,,,if your playing online this will not work!!
Usally, when I play online, I make sure to have enough weed rolled that I can smoke away the memories of any bad beat. Makes me cough alot but keeps me from tilting

3 times out of 3 tourneys you played today you say?
FYI - profitable players lose more obv to a bad beat while playing tourneys. - if you play like a tight nit, then sooner or later you will lose to a bad beat. Its a regular thing. Ive been far too many times out in FT in tourneys because of that or bubbled because of that. Biggest fkup I had in tourney was my AJ got called preflop by 910 and 9 hit flop- finished 3rd for 1800$ and 2nd got 3000$ - thats almost double the money he put on his 910. But what can you do- it was online poker.
If you didnt cash at all, then its nothing to frustrate about, as you werent even in the money.
I think Domdy once made a thread about better players losing more often to bad beats in tourneys than donks .

LOL The Ganja police is back again.
lol my friend ,,,, i nearly wet my pink frilly knickers,, and they cost me more than your half score last night,,,,,,but i must object to your use of the word police ,, this infers an istablishment point of view on my comments which believe me would be incorrect and if you knew me or had walked in my moccasins for a mile would be totally silly,, but morality is in the eye of the beholder and exspierience is the realm of age ,, however if the thought of big brother jars that braincell into coherent thought I will bend to your whims,, but believe me I dont bend for fools,,, or sexual fantasys before your mind so easily led edges in that direction
Posted by springplank: best advice ever, en by the way my cat is so pist now,...
well I did not really intend for the mob to take my advice and I did warn you that there may be consequences,, however I am glad to here that the cat survived some dont!! now I really must try to get back that 30$ I just lost ,, and I will have to find that cat I just through out the window so be good my friend and try hampsters they are so much easier to handle!!

the best think you stop playing and do anythink else,watch tv,make sport,play a game or somethink else. I know that feeling so i decide when i will win good money i play only live games.And in internet only small buy in´s maximun 10$ most times 1-3$ when i win a little bit maybe more.So i see internet only as a training room not to make money.
