Default Re: confidence shot by bad beats - what to do?

i second it absolutely

having played for a couple of years, since just after turning 18, i can tell you that you will go on losing streaks. recently i took a BIG one. nothing went right and i questioned my ability.

it was after this i started analysing my game more closely, win per hour, win per tourney, ITM, ROI the usual. basicly watching myself closly like this improved my game. i learnt the details of my play. it instilled confidence and turned my play.

all you can do is hang in there, just record your play. if you truly cant win, then work on your game. but we all go through bad spells, it happens, its how you deal with them that sets you apart.
