I don't know how to play poker (variance q?)

[WarBus]

What works for me after a big slide:

Drop limits.

Don't play your "A" game. This doesn't mean play bad just don't play the marginal hands. Its very easy for these hands to be -EV when sublte forms of tilt take over. Your goal is to start winning again, not improve your win rate. The hands can be added back after your "game" has returned.

Shorter sessions.

Quit after a modest win for a couple sessions. This is -EV long term but is psychologically benficial to log a couple wins after a bad run.

Change the sessions diplayed in PT to begin after the slide. Your trying to build confidence. There's no need to see the bad results, you know they are there.

Use PokerAce. The mucked hand feature helps you realize how many times players call with junk and don't suck out on you.
