| This thread on tilting inspired me to ask if you have ever got physical and broken something while you are on tilt? I myself once broke my keyboard in half on my knee after a nice downswing. One weekend I was also striking the screen of my laptop with my fist, but the bugger was quite well made and took it ![]()

| Have to think this one a bit... couple of glasses, chipcase and a mouse at least come to mind, but that was two years ago when I wasn't my coold and composed self . |

| I think I should break something because usually I try to hide my tilting even from myself. Usually that leads to a series of hands played wrong, so maybe an outburst of destruction would keep my game going strong |

| The latest thing i remember breaking was a chair. I picked it up by 2 legs and beat it too death on the floor. My dog was very shocked, but she got over it later...one of the chair legs is now here favorite chew toy. |

| im running out of monitors. threw my mouse into the laptop screena few weeks ago and since then have been using the laptop pluggesd into a second monitor. did the same thing again can now only see 1/2 of the monitor tht is not damaged. If i finish that one off, i have an old school monitor with a proper glass screen. hopefully the mouse will break instead of the screen, gonna work out cheaper that way in the long run. Always happens to me in cash games, tournaments i stay much cooler even at final tables. |

| i've never broke anything, but i was tempted to throw my laptop off my balcony after some dumass called my 40$ all in with a 10 8 offsuit and busted my aa with a 2 pair. |

| hmnn.. i broke 2 laptops in a 3 week time spand got tons of bruises on my hand and maybe a hole or 2 on my bedroom wall.. wat can i say..the more angry i get the tighter i play, and the tighter i play the worser the beats..i just completely lost it. but hey , im much smarter now. i bought a big stuffed animal about 6ft. tall and it became a real big help! =D ..it saves lots of money and it takes alot of hits.. ... ... maybe i will stitch the head back on tomorow. |

I got AA and he suckout a 6 or 10 on the river.... But the reality is I just swear up a storm beginning with "Shyt Piss and Corruption".. blah blah blah .. you get the picture... |

BB checked, I bet just a little trying to give out a weak continuation bet feel. Next guy raised quite a bit, BB folded. I thought a while, and re-raised. The guy went all in which I gladly called thinking that I'm about to win such a huge pot that I can just fold myself to heads-up if I wanted to. Wrong... The very next card was another J, river I can't even remember. I flopped quads, but what do you know? My opponent had called me with...yes, wouldn't you know it. pocket jacks.
