“I think one of the toughest moments in tournaments is busting deep after hours of good play.
How do you reset mentally after that?
Do you take a break, review hands, meditate, or something else?”

Take a few hours off, to meditate on what I failed, so as not to commit the same mistake again.

Accept variance

Move down in stakes

Review your play

Control tilt

Strengthen your mental game

Focus on decisions, not results

Study consistently

Follow strict bankroll rules

Take care of your mental and physical health

With this approach, every downswing becomes temporary.

Don’t get stuck on a loss — accept it, learn from it, and move forward. The important thing is to restore your emotional balance first, and then work on improving.
