    Being a poker forum, maybe ya all can help me with this one. I'm seeking a support group to help me not bang the hell out of my mouse when i get 26 bad beats in a row in one day. Any suggestions?

    ( figured it was time to move on to something important)

    Keep something cheap and breakable nearby. Keyword breakable. After a sick beat it feels much better to see something smash into little bits. I personally recommend some kind of small glass object that can fairly easily be cleaned up after, or simply chucked out a window onto a hard surface.

    At least you're not like Matusow, throwing your whole computer out the window.

    What I usually do well before that number climbs to 26 is find a bunch of friends and start playing a very low limit cash game or a $5 sit n go and just play crazy and have a good time. That calms me down quite a bit...and then I'll take a break for a while

    i keep a previously broken mouse on my desk and just throw it again. it's always fun to see if i can break it even more. laptops also help cure this problem as it's hard to throw the trackpad by itself, and the cost of the laptop should be enough to stop you from throwing the whole thing.

    The best way I have found is this guy on pokerstars called Supermoves...what you do is transfer your whole bankroll to him and let HIM play...that way he loses, you dont really know about it...and whats the fee for this great service? SIMPLE! He just keeps his winnings and if he loses its on you!

    Do what I did today when Paradise spoiled a dream slowplay by rivering my ass and making me split a 120K pot in crunchtime in the 20k.

    Eat the mouse. Whole.

    I hung one of my dead mouses on my wall in front of my computer to remind myself during a moment of anger that it's not the mouses fault. It was an innocent victem of rage spurred on from another source. I'm sorry for what I did to you. You didn't deserve that fate.

    Hi, My name is KK and I suffer from Mouse Rage Abuse Syndrome (M.R.A.S.).

    ( The first stage of reforming and healing is admitting the problem)

    .....

    Thank god we're on to important topics at least now, I was worried there for a while.

    Cheers
    KK (the reformed)

    Sometimes you can take the batteries out, and talk dirty to it.

    Just curious, when your mouse died, were there some secret hotkeys you used to finish the tourney? I think UB could really use some if not.
