Success at poker requires more than a positive attitude. Any hand that is not the absolute nuts is not 100% certain to win & if the player holding the absolute nuts isn't paying attention or doesn't realize what he is holding & is persuaded to fold by a bet prior to showdown he loses with an unbeatable hand.
Might try posting a hand or two here that you were 100% sure you weren't losing with. The answers should provide you with some food for thought.
By the way a very large number of so called of bad beats were in fact not bad beats but poorly played hands.
Well, if it it's not played well that's blame on the player, but i was referring more to the cases that you got beat by luck. Well two hours ago i played ten hand with pairs, starting from 88 to AA. I lost them all and the winners had hands worst.

Hi.
Daily meditation helps to control emotions very well. Try it and see for yourself.
Step One.
First, Google "Negativity Bias".
Read about and understand why it happens.
Step Two.
Now Google "Negativity Bias Poker".
Now read about that and understand why it happens.
Step Three.
Go and play some poker.
If you are still getting frustrated and upset, go back to Step One. Note, do not go to Step Four.
Step Four.
Enjoy your poker.
Note:- If you have got to Step Four and are still getting frustrated, best advice I can give is, go back to Step One and spend the next month trying to understand Negativity Bias. Until you do understand, you will always be upset when you lose a hand you thought you should have won.
I hope that helps. Good luck with your poker.
Thnx for sharing. GL to you tooHi Biohazard858. I've said it, and many other players will say it too. We have all had days of the same beats. For example, all day this past Tuesday, I got beat with every hand I played. That was on cash tables and playing MTTs. But I never tilted even a little bit. One thing I can say, I was not feeling very good and should not have been playing anyway. The best thing you can do is to work any kind of tilt out of your game. You have to say Oh Well and move on. GL luck to you

Keep playing online poker and you will get lots of practice at it. If you really want some practice I suggest playing more on WPN. That software is an absolute joke and the undisputed king of two and three outers. The flopped nuts are also usually just a trap to get you to put your chips in as well. Regardless if you need some practice chilling out after some bad beats play here.Guys, can you give me some advice how to deal with anger and frustration after loosing a hand that you were 100% sure that you would've won?
This makes almost no sense. You are basically telling the OP that he needs to quit getting in with the best of it and that he needs change his strategy away from having the better hand.Definitely more strategy game plan is required if a player can't deal with a bad beat. Especially if that happens often
