How to handle bad beats

[NascarFanSS]

"I recognize that I'm upset that I just took a horrible beat but poker is a game governed in large part by random chance, and getting my money in good in situations like that is how I make my money. If the bad players didn't suck out sometimes they would stop playing the game, so it is silly for me to be angry about this, and even sillier for me to start playing worse because of it."
'Jared Tendler'

Awesome quote I'm snaggin that.lol

I hate losing to people who make horrible calls like that but they are the bread and butter of the game. I usually take a smoke break and grab something to eat. Usually by the time your done cooking or eating the tilty-ness is gone.

I either break things or play with my whole roll on table to help me regain focus.

The next hands I'm playing tight with standard raises.
That's minimalizing the losses of future bad beats.
