How do you handle your bad runs?

[foolsgold]

This last week iv been playing badly/getting unlucky. Its starting to really effect my play, i seem to be throwing my chips away like a total fish. How do you adjust for thous bad runs? cause this is really annoying me!

i take a break usually find that calms me down and fingures crossed the run ends when i come back hehe

[Sofa King We Toddid]

ARghhh!!! Im running so bad right at this moment. Think ill take a break now actually. Good advice fools. Some players are STOOPID

I don't tend to stop playing when i get bad runs. I'm not that prone to tilting so i can usually keep a clear head.

If i get a bad beat and bust i jst close the table, think about it for a second, then usually go into another tournament knowing i played it well and forget about the bad beat.

I punch my desk all the time and shout and stuff. But then i go tell people about my bad beat (even if they've heard a million of my stories) and then it gets it off ma chest.

Dealt to Hero [8s 2d]

I've gotta say i can drop a lot of money when i'm fumin from a bad run. Gotta just keep away from the computer, far too easy to go multitabling 4 $12 180 turbos and bust them all in 10 minutes.

worst is if u play heads up on tilt, you can drop alot of cash heads up

[PokerPirate]

Definately, so easy to reload and then chuck it away heads up. I make the STUPIDEST calls sometimes when im on tilt on cash games. I don't ever seem to tilt on tournaments but HU on cash it's all too easy to just chuck your money away.

HU ye, just leave. i usually leave after 2 buyins or i find i just play like a moron lol
