Realize that you actually deserve a cold run of cards since things are just averaging out.

Though this might be a nice mental trick for you I wouldn't encourage others to think this way. This can lead to belief in things like heaters and being "due." You don't deserve a cold run of cards because you ran good for a while. This is just wrong as I understand it.

Every winning player is due for a cold streak just because of the nature of variance.

Here is a quote from one of the winningest tournament players around:

"Everybody will eventually run worse than they thought was possible. The difference between a winner and a loser is that the latter thinks they do not deserve it."
