Just wondering how you 'get over' a big loss, as have had a run of 'negative variance ' myself for a few buy-ins at NL100 this week which is what prompted my sarcy 'the rest of us are suckers comment'.

Do you have to take a break and try and remain upbeat or any other methods?

I've pretty much trained my brain to think positive at the tables now so whenever a negative thought creeps in auto-pilot switches on to 'Keep playing you're game it'll even out' 'Variance evens out' 'Just keep getting the money in when ahead' 'Stay calm!'.

But even with all this my deepest inner thoughts were that maybe just maybe it doesn't even out in the end and i'm destined to lose or maybe the luck factor is too big in the game to be over-rided...

I dunno what to think at the moment, just battling these demons. Any advice Mole?
