just wandering how those of you on here who do this for a living cope with bad downswings?
since i took voluntary redundancy two months ago i decided to take 6-12 months of work and use poker to fund my lifestyle
month one was fine, nothing spectacular and a dry mtt run but I still made a chunk more than i would have at work so fine
this month - shocking, other than a 4th place mtt finish this has been the most spectacularly unlucky run I think I have ever had - the type where two outers regularly do you on the river, full houses get done by quads and when u have 77 allin against ak the board runs 39933 for a split! laugh out fking loud. thankfully i am still up about £100 but it really has been dire
so what do you guys do in these situations? remain philosophical in the belief its all about the long term?

Get things in perspective, this is not a bad run, you could be down $7m [Am not a pro poker player, but have heard of several successful pros that do in fact frisbee laptops if they have a real bad run] |
