I can hande bad beats pretty well. They frustrate you though sometimes.
I can handle a true bad beat quite well. Its when 27 cracks aa when i have a little issue.
Whatever you do, stay out of 2p2. Lots of douchebags there on their high horses.
I once broke my wife's laptop because of a bad beat. I'm not allowed to use her computer anymore.
When I first started playing I would keep playing all night then. When I got schooled I learned to control my badbeats!!
best thing to do is make a note and move on. but I sometimes get a little tilted and do a bit more. maybe add a bounty if its real bad. sometimes.
I recently read an article by Daniel Negreanu explaining how to deal with bad beats. Basically, the article breaks it down to do's and dont's.
Some of the don'ts include:
Don't tell bad beat stories. As Daniel Negreanu puts it, "Look, they really don't care. Bad beats happen to everyone...have you ever looked forward to someone telling you a hard luck story?"
An obvious one is don't go on tilt. Players start chasing hands with few outs or try a garbage hand to quickly win their chips back.
This will make matters worse. You should focus on your game and play like you've been playing before the bad beat. Other players will also tell if you're on tilt and take advantage.
A good trick to play is answering the question on how your cards have been. Answer by saying that it's running great even though your hands are crap.
Some thign to DO after a bad beat is:
Take a long break. You need to clear your mind before playing poker again so you can focus a little better.
Move down to a smaller limit table. This would regain your confidence since hey are weaker players in the smaller limits.
Thinking positive should help as well.
The most important aspect to remember is to "always focus on making correct decisions at the poker table and not on the outcome."
Had one today, playing a two table SNG's $11 buy in. Early in the game, I had one one other pot with a straight by slow playing it due to I had the nuts. Check raised him and took him for around half his chips. I had around 2800 started with 2000.
100 blinds
I'm late position sb, JJ two people call the sb and I raise 5X the blind to 500 hoping to steal their blinds. One folds the other calls me. Cool isolated the opponent. Flop comes 10,10, 6.
I thinking either I still have top pair unless they flop 10's. I call the pot which was around $800, they call. I'm like what?
So I check it out, turns out she was slow playing me she hit the 10's but what got me was she called me with a 10,2 suited hearts. Knocked me back to 1500. Played tight from there on out but couldn't catch any cards. It just ate me up for a while that someone would call a blind with a 10-2 let alone 5X the BB.
After that I saw her call almost every flop, hit high card or trips and bust out a couple other people. I was scared to call her because of her luck. It's like she had a guardian angle telling her what to play and giving her cards.
So I buddy listed her on my account, hopefully she is playing some ring games in the future. Playing that loose eventually the odds will get her.
B 21 and take the pain if you blow up in a casino you get tossed out on your ass
Bad beats happen. Sometimes you get outplayed, more often (in lower stakes) it's someone's bad play that leads them to victory. It's the nature of the game. I find the trick is to stick with small ball poker, keep pots small, and when you get the nuts, bust them.
Thanks for the GREAT(and not so great) replies! In honor of this being my most responded to thread, I am going to award the best 2 or 3 replies with 150 points! I will post winners(that already posted) and contact them. keep posting though, I might be generous!
The Double Ups are a great way to build your BR. I have been playing Double Ups on Carbon and cashing good BR building if I could just stay away from playing other stupid shit I might have a bigger BR.

Poker etiquette is important and I try to remain calm and be a gentleman at the table. Cussing or ranting and raving will only make you look like the fool walking away from the table. Table manners should be enforced more than they are already. If someone at a casino said half the stuff they do in online rooms, they would be escorted to the nearest exit. Play nice! :)
I agree Nate they would get escorted or get thier ass beat then escorted out.Quote:

just get on with it. it sucks losing big amounts to a bad hand but thats just part of the game.
I'm quiet, waiting for the right time
I bet to recover and to resume my stack
I used to always slam my fist on the desk or keyboard and become irate and then usually spew the rest of my stack in the upcoming hands.
Now I just stand up from the desk and walk from upstairs to downstairs to grab myself a drink and cool down. Come back to the tables cool and collected and ready to make a run.
I go to the bad and sometimes i hit the wall with my hand, i don't want to nothing tell this person because i now ps is the bad person and many times when i am angry i eat because it help me.
Bad Beats are part of poker, It will happen to everyone and if you yourself haven't done it to someone else then you clearly have never played poker. I tell em GL NH GG, what more can you say? I for one know it's easier to remember a bad beat then a win but all you have to tell yourself is "I'll win the next one". Be classy and civil, always remember that it is just a game whether it's for money or not, I call people Donks all the time but that's about as far as i'll go as to getting mad, Stay positive and motivate yourself to remember how you got into the position to get a bad beat and change it up, try something different and see if you can bypass it. Good luck with that though.
Get drunk and go to bed is the best way to handle it
after a bad beat I like to break things.
I for one know it's easier to remember a bad beat then a win .
After last night, I'm not sure I'm handling bad beats well at all.
What i do if i get sucked out hard or catch a really bad beat is : Tell myself that if im geting sucked out on the turn and river then im getting my money in when i have the best of it, so you cant really be upset with yourself, its poker, shit happens
Pff, it is very hard for me, when i have stress i eat a lot, and many times i hit a wall, whet it happen i also go around a house and sometimes screem, also i hit my keybourd and mouse. If i want be relax i drink.
I always take bad beats very well, lol.
i keep calm
i hate the badets
