This is the key to surviving and turning around downswings for me. Anger and frustration can lead to leaks. When a downswing starts to get prolonged I tend to detach myself from it. It becomes a sort of dark comedy. I look forward to, and fully expect to be dazzled by, the next freakish display of magic donk plays, monsters in the blinds, cracked hands and whatever else the Poker Gods can devise. It's kinda sad when it ends....

Don't know if this is helpful or redundant but, when I m in the middle of a downswing, I won't stop playing completely. However, I will bring my number of tables down and also spend a 1:1 ratio of time spent playing to studying. Whether studying means going over HHs in SNGPT, chatting about hands, or reading poker books it doesnt matter. So I make my poker more quality time instead of quantity.

High volume poker during a downswing is a recipe for disaster if you're off your game, which most of us invariably are (off our games) during these horrible runs.
