As mentioned above, the more experience, the more you get used to it.
Still a badbeat can upset me sometimes....for maybe 2 seconds.
I think I've seen enough of them, so I don't worry about it anymore.
What I do however, is going to the HH and analyse the hand.
Did I play the hand wrong ? If yes I don't even consider it a badbeat anymore but just blame myself for having made a mistake.
If I played the hand well, it makes me feel good I did.
So actually I make a learning experience outof badbeats.

Yeah , you're right , only a few hands are true bad beats. Most of them are not played right. For example , yesterday I had K J and the flop was K J 2. I was thinking I could win a lot from this hand , so I tried a slowplay , I didn't bet , I just called if anybody would raise , planing to reraise on the river. And the turn was a Q and the river was a 10 and I lost the hand (one player had A 4). So , the point is , if I would have bet I would have folded him and I would have won the hand.

It's a good question . This maybe depends by pot / money invested probably .
However,this it's the part of poker and if we lose , we hate him.
And when we win with a bad beat we are like in the heaven .
So we need to accept the bad beats to,it's part of game and the Michael Paler solution it's the best from those solutions .
Keep calm , and don't let the bad beat's to influence your game play .

My old technique was to just not let it effect me and move on, maintaining my A game, but lately I've been getting angry and it makes me play bad and chase the game or make loose calls, so now if I take a few bad beats or have a few coolers, I just quit. I know that I'm effected by those hands, even if I try to ignore their existence.

The last sick bad beat I delivered was when I shoved J3o UTG after losing a big hand and I didn't even have 2BB left. The flop came AQ2, turn and river were 4 and 5, one of the callers had QQ and another one had A2. I had so few chips left that there were four callers in the pot, so I actually added a bit to my stack.
Of course, when you shove 88 against KK and the villain wins the pot, that's not a bad beat.
Games with an element of chance will always have these things happen, so we have to either learn to deal with it, or if we can't deal with then it's time to play something else.
Just remember the bad beats you delivered, or better yet write down a list of the sickest ones so that you don't feel like you're always getting the short end of the stick. I was in a Carbon freeroll a while back and delivered at least 6 huge bad beats, including hitting a 2-outer to make a better full house against a flopped full house, running straights, running flushes, etc. It probably helped that I was playing much looser than I normally do, but after having fought a cold deck for the longest time it was fun.

I continue to try to play the best I can play and how the cards fall is not in my control.

It's all about tilt control. Read up on Jared Tendler and Tommy Angelo, both offer great material on managing your emotions and controlling tilt.
I won't say I'm 100% tilt-free, but it takes a lot to get me to the point of quitting. I just laugh it off now.
For example, just last night I was multi-tabling DONs on Revolution and was in several games with Eric "Rizen" Lynch. Twice within about 15 minutes he and I got all-in with him being crushed, and both times he rivered me. Since he's the poker room manager at Lock I joked with myself (chat is disabled in DONs at Revo or I would have told him) about posting in the Rigged thread here, accusing him of super-using against me, LOL. But I busted/crippled him on other tables too, so it was a wash really.

I Agree.
Also, I have noticed that it does seem like 'getting rivered' happens a lot in same time frame of playing. If I get rivered once during a setting, it will likely happen again and again during the same night etc. At least, sometimes it sort of seems like 'good luck' and 'bad luck' runs in threes.

Exactly. Another way to cope is get a little "wind therapy" on the bike.
I hardly ever get to the point of TILT ... It is POKER and in Poker, sometimes s**t happens (life also) ... accept it and 'learn' from it if you can, but "tilt" is simply non-productive.

When ever I get a bad beat I can stop and think of all the times I did to other players. Then it feels less bad.
I also remember that if I am beat then it really doesn't mater how badly I am beaten because I was going to lose most likely. (in less I had good outs)

Winning or losing at poker is not about bad beats. It is about bad play. If you play bad, you will lose money in the long run. If you play good, you will take some bad beats, but you will come out ahead in the long run.

Yea tilt. Everybody knows it, even the best of the best Me personaly I always take a break after bad beat if its possible. But if you would like to destroy something after that, I recommend to put some old thing on your table so you will be prepared to throw it or punch it or whatever you want And you will not destroy your mouse, keyboard, monitor etc..
