"Losing a Tournament"

Many players tend to bitch and moan when they lose in a tournament, including myself, I just don't do it in chat. We all know we can't win them all. So if we only play strong hands, doesn't it seem logical that when we do get put out of a tournament it's going to be by a suckout or what we (I) call a bad beat.

Now if I just keep that in mind, that most likely I'm going to get beat that way and accept it, then I'm going to be a lot more serene and less likely to go on tilt. I'm still working on that and have a long way to go. ROFLMAO

i accept losing better than most, it really doesn't bother me. the only time it i get pissed is if i feel i played it badly.

Can't win them all

I agree, you cant win them all, especialy for me

yea, losing sucks, but there are DIFFERENT degrees of losing! Of course I get mad on a bad beat, but I get REALLY mad losing on the bubble. makes you second guess yourself.

u can win them all............................................... .................................................. .......................

Losing is always hard, but if you know you played well, then its a bit easier to accept it

Next person that puts me outta of a tourney; me n 2 chainz are gonna LIGHT EM UP UP UP

I'd love to know how many of you break furniture in your parent's basement when you get busted.

Some days are better than others, especially when it comes to poker. The bitching and moaning will never go away. And remember, if it were a perfect world, it would be boring! :)

I totally agree with you shells, but some people like to bitch and moan or should I say cry when they are the ones tilting, LMAO!!

it all depends on the importance of the tournament

bluff is integral part of poker, do not you?

Much better to brush it off especially if you will be playing again shortly after

But for some its there way to brush it off is to bitch or moan about it get it out so they can go on..

The thing about bitching and moaning regarding a loss is that nobody and I mean NOBODY gives a shit. So STFU already. ;)

can be very hurtful defeat because of which I am angry, but after a couple of minutes, all good!

That is some great advice. If only we could all learn to accept it.
