Can any one help me out. I allways lose after I have a great day. The next time or two I will put most of my winings back. I do suffer alot of bad beats, but this pattern is to often. So their has to be more to it than the bad beats and poker gods. I dont want to wast time and talk about alot of the hands but i feel it is me. Is there any books on controlling yourself when it gets going bad, like days like you flop a set and a guy has four to a flush and hits, but when you have top pair with the nut flush draw you dont hit,and the next thing you know your reaching in your pockent or doing the walk of shame."walk to atm"
any advice is appreciated

Gamblers, in general, tend to be delusion (myself included).

After that great day, whether it be at the track or in the casino, the gambler says "Aha! I've got it all figured out. From here on in, it's gonna be different."

Of course, it isn't different. Gambling is a grind. You're gonna have hot streaks and cold streaks. The winners are able to maximize the hot and minimize the cold.

From the philosophical to the technical, after gamblers win, they tend to overplay. Horseplayers start playing too many races; card players, too many hands.
