Default Re: Negative streak - advices?

"That is really making me see monsters under my bad and i am losing a lot of value with my good not nut hands."

To me this is the key sentence that makes me think that you need a break. Take a week break. Re-read some poker material. Play some 0.01/0.02 NL maybe when you get back just to chill and see if the beats still bother you and then slowly move back up.

Do not take shots at higher levels no matter what (I did this and got burnt, 3 days of hard work down the drain). Meditation and Yoga every day has really really helped me, nothwithstaning my "shot" at higher stakes.

When you go into a game with the state of mind of "I'm going to destroy my opposition" instead of "I hope I don't get sucked out on again" you will start extracting value from even your top pair hands against your donkish opponents and start making money. I did this for the first time playing Live 6/12 limit and I dont think it was a coincidence that I ended up just over 50 BB in 4 hours.
