Dealing with a Bad Streak.

[Aaron51_lz]

For the past couple of weeks I have had a largely unreasonable amount of bad beats. Now I realize that this happens in poker, but I am starting to reach the point where I can shrug it off and say, "oh well, I made the correct play." or "bad beats happen often to bad players."

I have been relatively happy with my play, not going away from my usual game(such as becoming looser etc.), yet for the past 3 weeks I have been gradualy loosing money when I have been playing.

I am not so cocky or arrogant to believe that my play has been perfect and my opponents are just getting incredibly lucky, but when I look at my hand histories, it seems that in the large pots that I loose most of them are due to being outdraw.

So finally, my question is, how do you deal with it. Its getting too hard to shrug off and I need some encouragement.
