Re: How do you guys handle the swings emotionally?
I went through a horrific 350 BB downswing at 10/20 recently...it's painful but it does turn eventually if you are a decent player. Some things that helped me...
1) Walking away from the computer, even for a couple minutes, can refresh your perspective.
2) A stress ball is not such a bad thing. If you live alone yelling can release stress.
3) Intellectualize: Bad beats will make you money in the long run as the fish chase...
3)There are more important things in the world then poker. You have friends, family, health, etc. Read Grisga's post from a while back about his son. That'll put things in perspective...
That's my 2 cents
