I hit some decent wins, but lately im losing a lot. Mostly get bad beats river and turn... I believe after getting first 2 places in like 6 tournaments in a row i got cocky and started to believe im super good at poker. Now all i can think off is how much money i could make in short period of time if i would focus, but can't get focus out of prizes, what position im in, am i above average stack and so on. Also can't stand losing bigger percentage of my stack than 20%.. I start to panic. Any ideas what should i do?

When a bad streak is lasting too much time, I usually take a break or I only play freerolls for a couple of days. It's also interesting to review your hand history and take more time to study the game.

maybe it's just a dispersion effect, you can take a break for a few days and look at your hands, there's nothing to worry about of course

Ye, but i can't figure out what im doin wrong really. Bluffs doesn't work out, flop nuts get cracked on turn river and so on. Simply unlucky streak i guess.

You are tilting----Even when we win it can cause a type of tilt---"i'm super good at poker"---Tilt is when we react emotionally not rationally to a game which has a good amount of variance in it----There are books on tilt- Jared Tendler ---The Mental game of poker --is good ----get that and read it and start using the strategies----

Friend, take a break! You should not play all tournaments at once after winning several. It's impossible to win all of them, just take a break
