Every day I witness lots of bad beats and coolers (specially online ) so I've been asking myself how one should control its emotions ?

How do you stop yourself suiciding after a failed job interview, relationship or exam?

You do it by looking at other things that are not going wrong in life. Same way, look at the winning hands to understand that if it wasn't for bad beats and coolers, fish would all improve or quit as they would far sooner realise how weak their playstyle is.

... suiciding? Sounds a bit over the top to me.

Try to be in good condition when you start playing and be calm.

You need to consider variance for one thing. And also how you are playing. If you put yourself in situations you feel you can't back out of you might be overplaying your cards. Bad beats happen and they happen a lot even if you play perfectly so you need to come up with a strategy that puts you in sitations like that less often as well

You just have to learn to quell your emotions. Just keep reminding yourself that you are not going to be as successful until you do.

emotions in poker, you need to be able to control otherwise success in this not easy game you can not see and how to learn to control them so you just can't explain I think it's a science not so simple as it seems

Alcohol and cannabis will help you.

That's what I always do maybe less alcohol but cannabis for sure .
Just sometimes it makes me paranoid about my opponents hand.

I'm already used to such a blow and treat this as an inevitable factor when playing poker.

When it seems that the dealer is against you ...
Who has not had days like this?
you can ask all those who practice poker, you will get a positive affirmation, yes we will take bads, and we will survive, I took , and you too, but rest assured, we will survive, we will continue playing poker, because it is in our deepest feelings that we can win, be sure we will, good luck to you my friend

If I were to bet 1,000,000 to find a single player online, or live, who had never taken a bad beats, I certainly could never find this player, he simply does not exist

Agree with you dude . always remember that its going to even out . bad beats happen to everyone but they are kinda rare. So if you play solid at all times eventually its gonna pay back .
Good luck to you all and have a great weekend .

with practice the nerves become easier and more confidence follows.

There's a lot of trash talk around it but you just got to ignore it

time helped me to cope with emotions, I play a lot of tournaments and I'm used to bad shots with cards, because this is poker and different situations happen in distributions in games or tournaments, there are good moments when a card comes to you and you win, not It is necessary to be nervous this game and all players have spans with cards

I recommend stopping by the table after a bad beat go around, drink water and calm down before returning

If it was bad play by your oponent, just relax, take it easy. Make a note on him and / or tag him. And look forward to see him again soon at your table. :)
