Are there such things as losing/winning streaks?
99% of you will say yes. I SAY... ABSOLUTELY NOT!
"Losing streaks" can be one of the most frustrating aspects of poker, but realizing they don't actually exist will drastically improve your winrate! Streaks are an illusion.
The mind (and you) says I'm full of crap, because the mind feels the real pain of the past losses and fears of future losses... but the mind is wrong. To say a streak exists is to say yesterday and tomorrow exist, but they don't! Yesterday is gone, win or lose... and tomorrow hasn't happened yet.
In poker, we only have this hand, right now, this moment!!!! To move to the next level (whatever that is for you), learning to only focus on THIS HAND, no matter what has happened previously, or what you're afraid of in the future, will create "total zone."
Good luck,
Dayne
