Message: [QUOTE="jordanbillie, post: 6493049, member: 31329"] My first suggestion is to make it a practice of being completely honest with yourself. Poker is a complex game of strategy with huge swings of luck mixed in. It's often hard to know what is driving the results. The more in tune you are with your own game/decision making, the more you can understand how you strategically match up against the opposition (and how good/bad you are running). Once you get a solid understanding of your own game, then you can have comfort in downswings as long as you are still playing properly (according to a proven strategy that "works" in the long run). The reason for this is that you now have a better understanding of what you are experiencing (a short term run of mathematical variance), and can honestly see how you are still making the correct decisions during the "downswing." I hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
