Default Re: How can I seem relaxed after monster flops?

I used to be this way, and there are some remedies.

I used to count backwards from 100 by 3. This takes you mind from one place and brings it to another. Its kind of tough to concentrate on your nut hand when you are doing this.

100, 97, 94, 91.....

Another good way is to think about how you are going to extract the most from this hand and what is the best way to play it, in the meantime, you should be putting others on ranges of hands.

The best way i've handled this is through sheer experience, the more and more you play, and the more and more you experience bad beats, and draw outs and miracle things happening, the less you'll be more excited when you do flop a vulnerable nut like you did and you'll just play it accordingly and accept the result.
