This belief is limiting! This just makes you unprofitable in poker, bad times exist, they are part of the process, this is totally normal. You have to ask yourself if you are making the best decisions if you beat the field you play. Sticking with these limiting beliefs won't get you anywhere.
Taking a few days to reset your mind and calm down is a great option too.

I do like to sit put for a while, but during that time I study during the times that I would be playing poker. It helps me refocus and refresh and I sometimes pick up leaks in my game that I can go back to the table and fix.

What I do depends on the type of hand and where it is, for example when it's at cash tables or when it's in a tournament or freeroll and you're about to enter prizes and that happens to you if it's very annoying, literally I can get sad, frustrated or angry. Actually, lately I always have bad beats and the worst of all is that I tend to connect trios but on the river they almost always connect stairs. It feels bad I'm not going to lie, just today I lost a $500 freeroll in which on the full flop a trio of Q and the villain starts bluffing I booted him all-in and he pays me with J-2 suited of spades, a pike had fallen on the flop, and on the turn and river they throw two spades at him, I felt horrible.
At first you feel bad, but if you know how to handle it and you can transform that frustration into motivation to keep learning and improving, it will be good in the long run, it can be very good. In general, a few days ago I felt terrible, but thanks to all the people and moderators of the forum who helped me not to feel so bad, I'm still here trying.

a break is not the best cure for everything. how do you know if the next tournament won't go better? and what do you do after the break if you lose again? another break? I think keep playing but with calm and understanding. Good and bad luck are very close together and you never know when it will happen.
