Don't tilt and expect down swings.
Sometimes you loose with pocket As and Ks.

There isn’t a sexy secret, consistency in poker comes from boring things done well.

This is only a secret to those that don't want to hear it.
Study as seriously as you play. Don't expect to turn up and just be better than you were in your last session, or suddenly better than your opponents.
Focus on the fundamentals and build from there.

I don’t think there’s any real secret. Like everything in life, it comes down to routines, discipline, and showing up even when you don’t feel like it. Studying when you’re not motivated, putting in hours when results aren’t coming, and staying consistent with healthy habits all matter.

Consistency in poker is especially hard because progress isn’t always visible. Many times you do everything right and still lose, which can be very discouraging. That’s why so many players quit or become inconsistent. If there is a “secret,” it’s accepting that short term results don’t define you, and continuing to put in volume and study even when it feels pointless. Over the long run, strong discipline and enough hours will make you a better and more consistent player.

Focus on progress! Discipline, constant study and risk management. For professional players, profit comes from the ability to repeat technically correct decisions over thousands of hands.
