the worst thing you can do is try to recover what you lost. you should set daily bet limits.When you are in a bad moment, it is best to go out for a breath, clear yourself, think about other things and then evaluate whether to continue playing or stop playing for a while

#4 September 12th, 2020, 10:36 PM

Maybe it is better if you put limits on daily or monthly expenses, in poker you cannot know how much you are going to win theoretically.

#5 September 12th, 2020, 10:38 PM

I would suggest never try and make up for the losses, instead simply step back and end your session. Then put your time into studying the game and also review your hands to see where you can possibly improve. Way better idea then losing even more for the day.

I always noticed when I would have decent cards but not paired, so Q and A, I always would call. Now I have learned to wait and depending on where you are to the big blind make your move wisely! Sometimes seeing another hand is all it takes to get you to that final table!

The best way to stop loosing on a bad streak , is to quit playing for a while. At least for that day . Preferably a few days, to get your head and game straight. The worst thing you can do is throw good money after bad. Trying to win back your loses during a bad streak is a fools errand. A loosing streak is mostly a mindset . so you have to change it.

#9 September 13th, 2020, 11:25 AM

You need to take a break from the game, calm down, think over your mistakes and then start playing again.

#10 September 13th, 2020, 12:24 PM

Elementary. Just stop playing, take a break. I have been playing poker for over 10 years and it is the best possible option.

#11 September 13th, 2020, 12:26 PM

I close the game and go to sleep.

How many potentially promising players were unable to escape micro-stakes just because they lost control of themselves during the game. When playing poker, you should always remember that by reacting too emotionally to coolers, bad beats, transfers from fish, or just lost coins, you deprive yourself of a considerable part of the expectation from the game. Understanding that this is an integral part of the game of poker will help you to keep your head on your shoulders after hurtful losses.

When you feel on the rise, winning stack after stack, and poker seems like an easy walk to you, it starts to seem like it will always be. But as a rule, this euphoria ends after the first very negative session. Your task is to perform at your best regardless of the results of the current session / week / month.

#21 September 14th, 2020, 3:47 PM

Stop playing for the day, only method that works for me.

#22 September 14th, 2020, 4:20 PM

Keep playing this is how the only bad spells go, and if it is too long, the suggestion is to rest for 2 or 3 days.

#23 September 14th, 2020, 8:01 PM

i have problems with that too

#24 September 14th, 2020, 8:30 PM

Play games that do not significantly affect the value of your bankroll, go down to the lisits below, during games do not regularly look at your bankroll until you finish the session. Of course, you can stop the game and rest, this is the right decision, but it will only help you restore your psychological state. Good luck. How to stop losing on a bad day or bad times?

#25 September 14th, 2020, 8:44 PM

All about bankroll management. Set limits and don't let your emotions get in the way.

#26 September 14th, 2020, 8:45 PM

There's no way to "stop losing" because you don't control variance. If you're tilted, it's definitely important to find a way to recover. For a lot of people that means taking a break. For others, it's meditation. Find what works best for you.

#27 September 14th, 2020, 8:46 PM

It depends on how you are losing. If you are focused and making the correct calls, play on. If you are in a negative mood, making bad calls or lack of focus, step away. Making the right calls and not getting the results is normal on some down swings. Once if has changed your attitude, then take a break of a day or two.

#30 September 14th, 2020, 9:12 PM

If it were possible, there would be no losing players! Try reading articles about tilt resistance and psychology in poker (it helps me personally)

#31 September 14th, 2020, 9:27 PM

It's easy, turn off your computer and go for a walk, watch a series on Netflix or play with your dog ... but never try to double the bet, you will only lose.

#32 September 15th, 2020, 12:08 AM

if you're going through a downswing, i find going down in buy in and stakes can help, also just focus on the basics of your game. i found having a tracker can make your game more complicated as well. maybe loose that and try playing more at the table

#33 September 15th, 2020, 12:18 PM

As for me, just put aside poker for a week or a month and work at the main job. After that, you can resume your tournament adventures. How to stop losing on a bad day or bad times?

when you are in a bad streak in which you are losing ... and you do not see how to recover ... what you should do is stop playing ... take a break ... have a cup of coffee or smoked a cigarette ... Get that bad vibe out of your head ... and then get back in the game ...!

#37 September 15th, 2020, 3:20 PM

You can take an example from me. I play tournaments, I play with the same limit, I play about the same number of tournaments a day. After the game I try to analyze my hands. And I read some new poker articles.
And you just won't have time to lose a lot of money on a bad day.

#38 September 15th, 2020, 3:25 PM

That is the moment when you must stop playing and resume the session the next day, follow your limits, set goals even in the loss.

Be aware of the reasons you are losing . If its from bad beats as long as you do not tilt is ok to continue playing, but if you are making the wrong plays, them stop analyse what you did wrongly and reflex how you can improve.

#40 September 25th, 2020, 8:45 PM

5% of your bankroll

#41 October 5th, 2020, 1:47 PM

If you have lost a lot, then you need to stop, rest and continue the next day.

#42 October 5th, 2020, 1:50 PM

Just take some break and go outsite to fresh ur brain and then come back.

#43 October 5th, 2020, 6:20 PM

The only way to stop tilt is to change the stimuli around you. Get up, move around, do some push ups, or get a snack. If you're playing poorly, don't be afraid to hit that "sit out next hand" button. Your mental health is more valuable than a single hand.
