I once had
this post which many people seemed to appreciate.
Along the lines of what Bernie was saying, on a trip to Commerce once with Dynasty I was in a great game. Super Aggro, but a great game. It was 2.75 hours before I won my first pot. Dynasty came by a little later and asked how I was doing? When I told him I was stuck over 6 racks ($6k) (and into the game for 8) he asked why I was still playing. My response was "if I stopped and left and came back to this room, I would KILL to be at this table. Since I'm at it now and I don't feel I'm playing badly, why wouldn't I stay?"
I rallied back and ended the session a mere $300 loser.
