    Bops mentioned in another thread that he had just smashed a keyboard after a 40 STT downswing.

    Was just wondering if something like this is common among other players. i.e. breaking and smashing things through frustration/tilt.

    What do you break and how often o you lose your temper. Have you done a lot worse than break a keyboard?

    I broke a laptop over my knee in frustration once.

    Im pretty calm these days and just bang my fist on the desk from time to time but no more breaking stuff, its too expensive.

    just a keyboard but i am amazed how my mouse has survived.
    Also nearly broke my toe yesterday kicking the wall.
    ( note to self -- wall hard - toe soft )

    friend of mine threw his computer and monitor into a skip which was outside his house after a -3k drunken session and when the monitor didnt break after 3 attempts at throwing it in, he went to the shed for the sledge hammer

    Off topic - I duffed a shot in golf on the 18th into the bunker and whacked by golf bag with my club about three times. Went to get my mobile phone from the bag later and found it in about 16 pieces. €150 down the drain. Lol.

    2 mice (of the inorganic non-furry kind), and my cruddy PC desk.

    A number of 2-3 outers in the space of the last few days lead me to swinging my mouse theatrically in the air before smashing it down on the keyboard. Deserved it.

    broke a mouse, by biting it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,049 ✭✭✭Ramiriquez


    Pretty sure I re-fractured a bone in my right hand. It healed but I have some funny lookin knuckles now. Have since moved PC desk away from the walls.

    Kicked the underneath of my desk so hard the 17" monitor went sideways onto the top of the PC (on the floor beside desk...not underneath it...doh!) and banjo'd the DVD/CD-ROM drive + my big toe hurt for a while :(.

    Reason: ~115 left in Stars Sunday Million. I've just doubled up to about 20 bb's. KQs in the hijack. 2.5x raise...sb barely covers and shoves (about 4/5th time he's done this in an hour). I tank but call. Sb has Q2o. Flop: K34r - Turn:5 River....6.

    broke a cheapie mouse once then bought a microsoft one and it seemed indestructable.... throw it bounce off the wall onto the floor.. eventually pick it up and put it back together and put back in batteries and away it goes again....

    Since replaced it with a G5 and it's way too expensive to be throwing around...

    As I type I can still see dent in the wall from last time.... been a good while now since an outburst... actually not since my everest days...... I rarely tilt anymore...

    One night after I'd taken a bad swing during the day on ipoker, I broke my girlfriend's jaw in a niteclub.
