Poker is a journey, a losing streak doesn't necessarily mean your playing bad, just as a winning streak doesn't mean you have suddenly become Phil Helmuth. Pay attention to how your playing rather than your results.

I agree....kenzie 96.....
You always have to not be a winner....Poker is similar to the game of man does not get angry....

this is a normal fase in a poker's player life, you should analise your game always, are you doing the correct plays? first make sure of it.

in second place, you need to know that poker is not like chess, is not only your skills that says with you gonna win or lose, there is a lot of variance and even if you are playing good you can lose that is normal.

this is the importance of play on your bankroll, because this way you will pass by this downswing without lost all your money.

These moments are with bad hands for all. Time will pass and everything will go well. These are just temporary gaming failures. It is also impossible to win always. In the majority of cases, players are at a loss.

Analyze this! Always, after long unsuccessful sessions - study your hands. There are two reasons for losses - you are not playing the right game and you just do not get lucky. You must determine exactly which of these two reasons. And draw the right conclusions.

When you run bad for any length of time you start to play bad eventually or at least it seems so to you.

Take a break and reset. Sometimes this can be a short one like in a few hours or a long one like in 3/4 days. Try to do things that you would not have to thing about poker for a length of time.

Also when start back playing from break start slow. Play 1 tournament/1 table focus on game keep talking yourself through hands and what are right decisions. Depending on what limits you play you can maybe even drop down a buyin temporarily. Your goal should be to get your confidence and focus back. Once you hit a couple of flops and win a few hands you should start to play better feel better and ultimately run better.

Often I find my losing streaks are actually a result of my winning streaks. I play well and I am rewarded too much for it, so when I play well again and lose, I don't understand it, so then start playing badly.

I tend to play Poker better after a lot of losses and a long break, simply because I go into the game refreshed with no expectation of winning again and just wanting to play well for a certain time.

Bad streaks are tough to deal with, it does happen. A lot of different reasons for it also.
It might be that the tables are just too full of same like players as you. They might have you figured out. I like to try and keep track on how many times I play a specific player. Some names are easy to remember some are not. I usually play certain types of tables and tourneys and noticed that a lot of the same players are also playing these.
Writing notes on players is the best way to do this. At first I just write quick notes, very loose player, tight player, crazy player. lol
If I am in a real bad way, I go to the play chips. When you go up in ranks in the amount of buy ins for play chips, you can get some real good players.

Downstrates are very long. In such situations, patience is important, and you can not cope with it otherwise. But it is important to distinguish between bad and game and bad luck. If this is a bad game, then work on the errors can not be avoided. This workout streams, it is possible to go down to the limit below.
