The best thing is to analyze the game and see if you're missing something.

As for me, where the bad streak is, there is good, and everything has its time

You just have to take a break, bad streaks are always going to be a great challenge. Next time you go through this just try to get away for a few days and then keep trying.

I try to take a day off and then come back to playing later. Usually that helps.

When I have a bad sequence it keeps playing because some point will stop, because that's the variance

If you are losing because of bad luck, then keep playing if you have the right mental state. If tilted then take a break. Bad streaks are part of poker, very annoying but that's how the game works. No need to take a whole week off (unless you want to)

At such moments, I stop playing and work on the game or work with the coach to understand what this downstreak is justified, it’s quite possible that I just started playing worse in the stream of thousands and thousands of hands.

Just to clarify, I mean if you are a winning player. And you have sufficient bankroll. If not study/move down

Remember that there are both black and white stripes in your life, and sooner or later, every stripe comes to an end.

On the contrary, playing poker helps me get rid of a bad mood. Cheer up dude, good luck will come!

Sooner or later, the streak of failures will end, you just have to wait. I'm also having a bad time in poker right now, some losses, but nothing, I have to hope for the best.

You need to tell yourself that all the bad things will go away ...

Take it for granted and accept it. Poker is a game with a minimum advantage. Even if you are an experienced player, you cannot win all the time.In order to break a losing streak, it is important to identify what the problem is. It is best to look at the last hands you have played and analyze them objectively without having to make decisions.

I agree with the majority that we should take a break for a couple of days.

Review your hands history where you lost a big pot to know if you can play it differently, also hands that your not able to maximized your chips gain.

keep in mind that this is poker with good and bad streaks, making the right move should give you peace so it is important that when you are already relaxed you review your session and thus give yourself feedback, that will help you to give another approach to bad times , to bad beats, to streaks etc.

If it's not on a good day it's better to take a break

I agree with many who have suggested that if you're having a bad streak, you should just stop playing poker. The problem is that it is very easy to give such advice, but it can be very difficult to actually carry it out.

Don't do the break. If you do it you will never know what's the reason and what to improve. Just take a quick walk outside, sort out the nerves in your head and keep going

I just keep playing, maybe look at my mistakes. It always turns around, and I have also noted bouts of bad luck right before and after a cashout :)

I think it's a good idea, when things aren't going well, a little vacation goes really well.
