Yesterday great, today horrible

Yesterday was a great day of poker for me. I get 8 or so full houses in 30 minutes many of them on the flop, with anything. Today My QQ loses to KK. My Kings full of queesn full house loses to a river royal flush. I get QQ again and lose to A10. Then I go to lower limits and my AA loses to JJ and every other hand I get completely missed the flop. I completely wiped out my profits from the day before. Any advice?

8 boats in 30 minutes? You were bound to take a tumble. I think the greatest attribute a poker player can have is stoicism. Just suck it up. The better you are the more you get drawn out on.

It gets better. I keep playing to try to get out of the rut. I fold 66 after a rereraise would of flop trips for a 15BB pot. Then I get jj and fold on the turn only to river a J!~

Stop looking at your daily results.

Its a marathon, not a sprint. Examine your win rate in poker tracker in the aggregate. Make sure that your properly bankrolled for the level you are playing.

Went into a 1-1NL table and my AA loses to a river straight!

I don't have software like that because I use macintosh. I know but I just can't help but think about today and yesterday. If you have a bad bad day. When do you stop and what makes you want to play tomorrow?

Anyone who has played more than twenty hours of poker has had hands like these. So please don't post alleged bad beat hands which are nothing more than just normal turns of the card.

I feel better now. That was just venting. I was using the form as a release for my frustration. Thank you for understanding.

Welcome to poker. Get used to the swings and don't let them change how you play.
