while you are in a period of bad beats and bad luck, do you guys play less and study more? or do you keep playing the same sessions as before?

the bad luck has to end sometime but the main problem then is if you are on tilt (angry) if you are on tilt you make bad decisions and you just keep losing more so its always good to take a breather and just study. OR practice and take out TILT in your gameplay (which is hard)

As other one said tilting is main fault here. People tilt in every sport. Whether it is basketball or any video game. It's just shear frustration that leads to making many mistakes and betting on hands which are not very strong. Not evaluating your chances before making a decision is very common when tilted.

In case if you can handle the bad beats without tilt play more and more. In opposite , during your downswing period if you often go on tilt than take a break and do something else than poker.

Well, in a time of bad luck I even fold Kings or Aces. I wonder sometimes losing so many hand on the River, often against real bad hands I would never imagine to play! Sometimes I am very annoyed so I stop it for a while.

bad beats and bad luck always happen, and it's time to take a rest.

The last year I have only bad luck in poker. I have a break, study, watch videos, nothing helps, I'm probably a very bad players, or we're playing against the computer, my every decision-fault ...

Is a thing that all players go through. It's time to review some theory, take a breath and stop playing for some days, or weeks.

just keep playing, because it is poker and sometimes you can have a long period of bad luck.

I usually take a break for the rest of the day or if I'm really tilted then 2 days tops. I usually spend them not thinking about playing the game, rather than theorycrafting it, reviewing my hands, certain ways I could've played both losing and winning hands better and reevaluating my starting hands. The bad luck runs out by then for sure
