I stop playing the tables and head over to forum to see what's going on and who needs help and whatnot. That's why I'm always here

Keep to your game and don't feel pressured to try and win it back.

Don't go all in with nothing, It isn't a good idea. You learn the hard way!

I handle a "Bad Run" by going down to a bit lower limit, and only playing, when in position. Its a real challenge. Remember cards run in streaks. You have to be able to ride out the bad streaks, they too will pas!

Kingcard has the right idea. It is better to regroup than to do anything rash.

A 'time out' often does the trick. Then when you come back to play, allow the good cards to come to you - don't you go looking for the good cards. It never works that way.

w8 till you get better cards, while w8ing you should sometimes do a bluff when you notice your opponents have bad hands.

don't bluff to much tho.

when you strike that good hand at a loose table, show weakness so that the other players will react with bets while they have a far worse hand than you have. its up to you to trap 'em then
