Re: How do you guys handle the swings emotionally?
Play less tables and dial in on the game for awhile. That emotion you feel when you are on a downswing is very likely to affect your play, and you'll be compounding your errors further by playing lots of tables.
Of course, if your game "has a lot of flaws", then multi-tabling is just inviting higher variance, even a negative winrate. Single table for ~$9/hr until you fix all your biggest leaks.
Analyse your own play ruthlessly.
Lastly, do lots and lots of math. Do poker related math until your brain hurts. Once you do enough of this, you'll understand, trust, and believe that variance is how you are able to make money at poker. I already know that you know that mentally, but you don't believe it yet.
