Hey guys... Just curious what everyone does why you have one of those days where absolutely nothing goes your way....

I had a really bad day yesterday like this - I was missing almost every single glop - and when I actually did hit my hands, someone else would end up have a stronger straight or a better flush than me lol!! I just kept losing the whole day... finally ! I just gave up, closed all the poker Apps and let it go - and told myself I will try again tomorrow..

How do you guys deal with this - do you walk away or still continue to grind?? I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle these days without tilting..

As you’ve carefully mentioned, when it’s not your glop, it’s not your glop!
So just soak everything in and move forward grinding until it turns out to be your flop!

Give up playing for the day and review your hands and figure out where you went wrong, or what you could have done better.

Try not to be so results oriented. It will drive you nuts when you are because there will always be days when “nothing goes right”.
Are we doing everything right? When I look back at the times when I felt like this, I usually found out the problem was me, I just wasn’t playing good. I was making too many mistakes that I didn’t even know I was making. My ego was just in the way. I felt too entitled and I just didn’t know what I didn’t know. Poker is complicated and it’s not easy.
Now I look for the mistakes other players are making. I try to make the most profitable response to those mistakes. If I can do this correctly, and if I would make the same decision over and over again then a bad day or a bad result doesn’t mean a single thing to me anymore. I play now for the quality of my decisions, everything else is out of my control. So stay in control, gather information on your opponents, make better decisions and repeat.
Have fun!
 
I minimize my activities as much as possible and try to realize that this 'nightmare' will end.

I just stop for the day and go do something else. But nowadays it’s easier because I don’t really enjoy poker as much as I used to.
