What is your worst reaction to a bad beat?

I broke a cheap table recently after numerous bad beats in one day. I can usually take them (alot) but lately the number has been hard to fucking believe (nearly all are AA<QQ,KK<QQ, TT<88, etc. AIPF in mid-late stages of MTT's). Fuck 'em!!

 I used to bitch a lot when I started, and I punched a wall in front of like five people when I was 16. Pretty embarrassing now.

I broke every single thing in my hotel room after I got 3 outted for close to the chip lead with 11 left in LAPT: Brazil. Looking back it seems kind of childish, but it sure felt fucking wonderful at the time.

When I've dusted off a few chip leads playing like shit though that's when I've gone mental. I've like knocked over chairs and stormed off, because I was so pissed at myself. So stupid.

Now I don't react as much. I get annoyed and go for a walk, or have a beer and go to bed. I guess it just loses its effect more and more as I go on. I can't remember the last time I really cared about a bad beat.

I threw a baseball(closest item around) towards the wall and ended up making a hole. It was worth it though, felt real good. Still my family does not know about it to this day as I put a poster over it:)
