Bust out the iPod and go for a walk. Never fails.

The Bloc Party album makes for good bad beat music.

Default important things to remember when this happens

get beat a million more times.. you get used to it.... the MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember though is do NOT play below your bankroll.. this will allow you to not care about the bad beats.... if you find yourself having an emotional responce after your finished quit for a few days.. take a break until your not so stressed out from the beats and then hit up the tables again

"Once you understand the nature of the game, the beats shouldn't bother you anymore.

If they do, you are usually making at least one of the following mistakes:

1. Overplaying your bankroll

2. Playing higher stakes than you can handle psychologically (regardless of bankroll)

3, Being results oriented

4. Feeling like you (or your good hands) deserve to win

All of these errors can be corrected and lead to tilt, if left unchecked. If you notice these behaviors in yourself, start eliminating them at your next session."

Dov, that's perfect.

mikeymer, you're thinking like a fish. If you keep assuming that you have some sort of entitlement to the cards flipping one way instead of another, you're going to lose a lot of money.
