percent
I don't know i can handle another bad beat. I have liter-ally been ahead poreflop to turn 85-90 percent of the time and have probably lost the reverse of that . It's been super frustrating and have almost on multiple occasions smashed my keyboard but somehow have managed not to destroy anything of value.
Latest one came in a 50 cent 45 man turbo on PS. Had Kings and raise it up and then get re-raised and i shove and they call with QQ. Everything's great until the river magic Queen shows up giving my oppenent trips of course..
Time after time it just keeps happening like this and i should probably step away.

The tilt is strong with this one. You surely don`t want to hear it, but 80% is 80% and not 100%. The guy with queens just hit his 20% chance. Maybe it is best to stop playing for a while and let some steam off away from the tables.

Maybe you need a bit of a break away from the tables. Or even a site change. This helps sometimes. And you have options to play elsewhere. Dont worry you will get your mojo back soon, hitting cash

keyboards being smashed, beer is being spilled, bankroll is shrinking... oh boy sounds like one of those days... but yeah like others said this is just tilt and when you get out of it you can't really argue with the fact that 80% is not 100%. at least you didn't smash your pc/laptop or whatever else you're using.

I had situations in the game when I really wanted to not only break the keyboard and generally throw the computer out of the window .... but I found the strength to calm down a little and not to do it ... but sometimes after big losses I just drank vodk

Being a keyboard warrior, I almost always use an external keyboard on a laptop computer. That is not only because the built-in keyboard is uncomfortable to use but also to protect the internal components of the laptop.

Hello my friends and fellow mobsters
My friend Don`t breack anything it only increses your losses got to step back take a breather and then go back with a different aproach to the situation That is the right way to do things when you are outside of the problem because when is with you well things fly and got broken (personal experience)

Also puts the situations in which you have won with a smaller pair. These things are part of the game and happen quite often. Especially as this is about online tournaments not live. All you have to do is relax and move on. In future calculates on a notebook whenever you lose a bigger pair and whenever you win with a smaller pair. To get an idea

Today I had a situation when I wanted to not only break the keyboard but break my unreasonable head against the wall ... I lay on the couch and played ... but from a distance I could not see the suit of cards ... and when it seemed to me that I The senior flush turned out that this is not so))))

I dont think that this happen only at poker stars,maybe there is so often,because they have largest number of players,not because their software is just bad!but I undrestand why people are crazy when this kind of hands happen!

People are not crazy. In fact is jonesing for a little brainless fun. They still do not understand that pokerstars just watches their money. Probably many will realize that. Today was a freeroll as it was before EPT LIVE with 30.000 players. But this time it was just 20000-22000 players. Pokerstars loses credibility in freeroll games and in real money. In sunday million they are no longer as they were before. I'm very happy and i want pokerstars to lose all credibility.
... i was on major tilt
