When a table runs bad, what do you do?

[bernie]

If it affects you mentally, as it seems it's doing, leave and start fresh. But understand, you cannot outrun or avoid a swing. It's still one big session. It's just a matter of where you want to mostly spend that session.

It does take a bit to learn how to play through a badwing/run.

The sooner you are able to realize that even though you are getting shelled that you are still making money sitting in a good game, regardless of the initial result, provided that you are playing winning poker, the better.

I hear some say they play though it but I can't see how when the varicance piles on that bad, players will soon try to be tricky and bluff, you CAN'T bluff because they are thinking your unlucky or bad, and you are frustrated.

Not necesarily. You may be giving them too much credit for thinking about you. Most likely they'll just play the same except they are hitting. Many players will think they're getting moves made on them when they really aren't.

I'd suggest rereading SSHE: Gambling concepts-Where the money comes from.
