Default Have you broken anything while on tilt?

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

Got hole in my table and blue hand.

Sometimes I tilt so bad playing online that I'm really really near totally loosing it. At live games I manage to keep it pretty cool though..

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

Cool on the outside, having multiple conversations with myself on the inside. Does "breaking" my bankroll count as breaking something?

Yup, I broke something once. My keyboard. The situation was just so horrible that is really pissed me off. Not that I lost much (apart from a new keyboard ) I was playing a $5 buy-in tournament with somewhere around 400-500 participants. I made it to the final table, where I ran across a situation I haven't even thought of being possible. I was in the middle position 55. I raised, one called, as did the big blind. Flop was 55J. 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.

Default broken many things

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 have thrown things, but normally I just use a barrage of four letter words.

Poor animal

I have considered buying a boxing bag and hanging it next to my computer table. Could be good in releasing some steam once in a while.

I know sometimes when I take a bad beat I imagine the player sitting across from me and wish I could fly across across the computer table and pummel his dum azz for not folding when I make a pot size raise after the flop ... he holding something stupid like a 10/6 off with bottom pair... 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...

I've only broken a mouse and a keyboard altohugh I've wanted on numerous times to break my monitor but that would turn a few dollars into a few hundred dollars.
