Keep working hard because one hour the victory will come, even if it seems impossible,
Victory is here!

How many times have you felt in the worst card streak in history? that no matter how much you play well and put your money in the best hand, the cards just don't come out as they should ... or how many times do you decide to go all in pre flop with KK and your opponent pays immediately with AA? ... Well I think this has happened to all of us and not just once but several times, the question is ... what do you do to stay calm and focused when you are right in the middle of a very bad streak? ... apparently I am falling in one right now and I would like to read your advice or anecdotes .... Here he goes as I manage (if you can call him that) the bad streaks ... 1. I stop watching TV while I play (lol) 2. I stop using the semi-bluff so frequently. 3. When I go on tilt I prefer to run or go for a beer ... 4. I curse my luck !!! haha Comment ... Cheers
Sometimes stepping away from the game for a short period can help you clear your mind and regain your composure. Whether it's a few hours or a couple of days, taking a break can be very beneficial

Concentrate on making the best decisions possible rather than focusing solely on the outcomes of individual hands. This mindset shift can help you stay calm and focused.

If you can, take a time out of playing, is the best thing you can do. Relax your mind, try others thing, and come back stronger 💪🏽

There are two options. Either rest, or continue playing. The streak of failure will definitely end.

Oh this is my theme . A streak of bad luck followed me . I played in different tournaments and always got a Bad Beat . The main thing is patience and the holiday will come on your streets . Good luck!

Take it for granted and just play play play! The main thing is to be sure that this is a loss streak and not your terrible game - then everything will go away by itself after some time. No poker player has ever gone through a career without slumps and lose streaks - pick yourself up and get through it with your head held high. Good luck!🖤

I use two cures for bad luck, take 2 days off or move to another poker room.

For me, I prefer to stay away from playing for a while.
Until I feel that I have regained the passion and focus to play.

I don't think we should dwell on this.
We need to put more effort into the game

In this case, be patient because this is the reality of poker, when I start to feel really bad I usually take a break for a few days, this helps me...

With a losing streak I have dealt countless times last years . But with a fake RNG ?? Nope , I cannot deal with this . Fake RNG makes game not fun at all . It's like a homegame that you play for fun and all other friends don't play by the rules or they steal . So it's not fun at all .

When this happens to me and I realize that I’m losing control of myself, I simply close the tables and go do other things to calm down. But this is all part of poker, over time you get used to it and I react less and less psychologically. It's unpleasant, yes.
