There will most definitely be times where you think you're the unluckiest player in the world, internet poker is rigged and they've thrown the doomswitch on you.   It's always nice to have someone or something to blame.  Unfortunately, the truth is not so nice and easy. :)

You can gain SOME comfort in the fact that these downswings happen to everybody occasionally.  They survive and you will too as long as you approach it calmly and with a plan.  Worse thing you can do come back with a knee jerk reaction to your playing style.  However, that doesn't mean that you can't tuneup your style/strategy.

If you're normally a TAG player then don't, for instance, change your starting hand requirements that drastically.  You may want to look at opening up your range somewhat according to your position for example.  Look at what types of hands you're playing on the button, in the cutoff, with limpers in front-look at whether you are taking advantage of all your opportunities.  Are you maximizing the seemingly few and far between winning hands you ARE getting?

My basic point here is that if you're in the middle of a losing streak don't panic.  Use the time to stand back and take a look at how you can add to your knowledge base about leaks in your game.  Take a break, step down in stakes and put those new revelations into practice.  Repeat and rinse.
