Poker to me has always been a yearly game..I don’t focus on the win or the loss of the game, but the end of the year profits. If you are playing with skill, you will profit at the end of the year. Many do not like to look at it that way as it is not “glamours” but I am looking to play this game to make money, not get worked up over variance.
Also...variance works both ways.. not just bad beats/losses, you can have many upswings for months..again, it to me is just a yearly game. I have not been able to play live games due to Covid, but all wins and losses are going to be tracked and will continue to develop my skill until the profits increase.
I am just not one of those guys that gets his ego involved in a game that has an element of luck, I only have an ego about things I create such as creating videos, writing..photography etc. I’m just here to make money in the long run. Make no mistake, Poker is fun! But losing means nothing to me...or should say I do not take it personal. (Not anymore at least, wasn’t always the case! Lol)
Working on game leaks should be a priority instead of thinking about bad beats IMO..you do not accomplish anything by getting frustrated over bad beats, you (meaning anyone) accomplish more by working on your skill and improving each day at this very complex game.
