I usually, when the day does not add up, take a break, the main thing is not to try to recoup, on a bad day it will only be a bigger drain of the bankroll ...

My advice for bad, is that you have patience, because it is common for an hour to appear, I suggest you take a break for 24 hours, or even a few hours, never continue playing.

Bad days at poker affect on your state hard if you are deep in poker for a long period of time. For me, when I fall in maybe 2-3 tournaments having almost nuts and afterwards lose with some 1 or 2 outs, then I shut down my computer first step.
Go outside maybe for a fishing or riding bike for about 20-30 km easy mode with some 90 dance music, or work something else that is my hobby, even do some DIY.
I find DIY a lot helping for my bad days, when I'm loser in something convert that into a winner in different job, where you feel good after you finish it.
Knowing that you are making something on your own, give you positive vibe, because you know that you are worth for something.

If I think it is best to get away, I did not do it after a few days that my hands played well but the river ends up killing me, and playing levels of NL2 and NL5 in the end I lost almost all the bank that I had right now I am starting again to recover my bank

Sometimes I have really bad luck days. Just try to take a break, try to calm down and wait for next day, maybe next day will be poker day

Get outside. If you can devote a lot of time to this and head out on a hike or picnic, great. But if you have a bad day playing , even a short burst of outside time will boost your mood.:driver:

Find a freeroll and still enjoy the day.
But stop playing for money, frustration takes over.

Take a deep breath, close your laptop and dedicate yourself to other things than poker so that you can clear your mind, after a few days you will see that you play better and there you will find your good game again ;)

I usually lose everything on such days. So I’m not an adviser in such situations.

Tilt will consume you if you do not walk away for at least a day or so. Tilt will make you feel like there is no hope, but you can overcome if you know you're a winning player. Stay positive and do something that brings you joy instead if you're running bad.:)

if you use software like HM or PT4 and mainly icmizer.
evaluate your game see the wrong decisions you made and the ones you thought were right if they really were.

Diversify your interests so that the bad days in poker do not take up all your attention and do not affect your mood so much.

When you focus on just one thing and it doesn't work out, you will experience a lot of frustration, so it is advisable to always be able to switch.:)

The best thing is to stop playing, rest, take a break and try again the next day, with a clearer mind and not be affected by the constant bad results that make us want to recover everything quickly and thus end up losing everything.

stop getting worked up over short term results. everyone has bad days in poker. heck, if you want to call a 'bad day' any day you don't profit, then i'd say 75% of my days are 'bad days' in a given month.

but that's a silly way too look at things because poker isn't a short term game. so, at the end of a month, if i'm still profiting overall, does it matter if 23/31 days are 'bad days'?

Try to do other things that you like and forget about poker. When you are cooldown try to do a review of your last games and identify your mistakes.

what I always do.

When I am on bad days, I play freeroll or take the day off to relax my mind. Not every day you will win, but the important thing is to know how to stop on bad days. May these days be the time for you to relax and be ready for the next day.
