How do you guys go on such insane downswings?

Instead of identifying the bad play, everyone just tells me to "raise more" as if that would somehow deliver better starting hands and cut down the suckouts . That doesn't help.

I'm not sitting back afraid of passive players beating me on the river. I'm trying to determine how to overcome it.

You do realize that you want to be sucked out on, right? The longer the shot the better. The goal isn't necesarily to prevent this from happening. You might be looking a little too much at just winning pots than just playing well during the hand. You're also looking at too short term of results, imo. As Ed said, forget that session. Look at the overall play.

Btw...The more aggressive you are(within reason), though the shortterm variance is a bit higher, the swings aren't as high overall. Even though you're putting more money in during a hand/street.
