How to Shake off bad beats

[Zybomb]

Its quite simple

Focus on DECISIONS not RESULTS. If you made the proper play but lost, know you made the right move...at the same time if you made an incorrect play, yet won, realize that as well.

Remember poker is all about the long run. You can play solid poker all night long, yet walk away a loser for the night. Maybe you had a bad beat. Maybe your drawing hands were never coming, even though you were calling with the proper pot odds. Maybe you saw the flop with premium non pair hands, yet could never seem to hit a flop and were faced with constant aggression. Maybe your cards were simply cold all night, except for pocket Kings one time, which happened to be the same time the player to your right had pocket aces! Maybe every time you raised for information, the information you received was FOLD.

Simply put, everytime you make a mistake your opponents gain, and everytime your opponents make a mistake you gain. While these may not occur instantly, in the longrun, the ratio of opponent mistakes to your mistakes will determine your poker success

Keep that in mind when playing
