I believe that the bad beat is part of the game, it can happen to you at any time, in my place I would not get off at any. You have to be able to maintain a sense of perspective, it will be easier to handle bad beats. Bad beats are inevitable but hey, you have to have a positive mind and something very important, keep calm.

If you care more about your actions, you'll care less about bad beats, always worry about making the best decisions, and remember, you can only control your actions, you can't control what will happen, but making the best decision is the most important thing.

Yes, you need to be able to forget your bad condition and continue playing as you played if you can't do it, you will lose a lot of chips at once I think this has happened to many

The most important thing in poker is to stay focused. When you have bad thoughts, defeat is inevitable.

Many people will get upset and complain about bad beats but forget one inportany fact, they give bad bets themselfs. WHile its never fun to suffer one, we need to remember the ones we gave out and how it balances out.

Until a while ago I was shocked and terrified by the bad beats.
Now, when I'm busted from a tournament but I know that I made the good choices and/or just had a bad beat, I don't feel that bad.
Of course, it's always sad, but I learned that on the long run it's more important to play well and have some bad beats than playing badly and just get lucky. I had to learn that this is also part of the game.

If you have a bad beat, then just focus on you did the right play.
if you play bad and lose focus on correction.

We can't control those flips , one good tip is to add volume to your game if possible and you won't even notice the vast majority of them.
You will may notice those that happens in your deep runs if you are referring to tournament poker.

Bad beats happen all the time . You just move on , to the next hand or tournament . Hopefully your luck will be different next time . I the bad beat caused you to go on tilt mode , just call it a day and stop playing more

Boy, even I don't know how to deal with it yet, but what the pros say is that this is normal gameplay and we have to face it with normality. What frustrates me the most is when we are close to the bubble, because for a bad beat we lose the chance to win.
