If you are a winning player BANKROLL deals with the swings.

Throw the mouse out of the window, take a deep breath, plug in replacement mouse and rebuy. Repeat every other day.

Re: Down Swings
 

Take a break if you have to, reevaluate your game, read 2+2 literature, lurk and post on these forums 12 hours a day, ect.

But seriously, sometimes taking a break and finding leaks in your game is the best way to break out of a downswing, you can also drop down a level to rebuild your roll and confidence.

Downswings are the best opportunity to learn and develop your game, so "welcome" them. Its never easy to have one, but winners come through as better players..

Re: Down Swings
 

You go on tilt, blow your roll, re-deposit and promise yourself to stick to a max number of buy-ins for a day. Repeat.

Having a bankroll will stop you from busting, along with taking a brake. None of these help me deal with the downswing. You just have to get used to it I guess, but man I really feel like a [censored] degen POS when I can't win. I hope I can get over it.

Dont post obvious, yet irrelevant resonses like this.

What everyone else said is spot on. Take a break, analyze your game and most importantly, DONT PLAY ON TILT! I've struggled with this in the past, and the best way to break an approaching downswing is to close all your windows immediately the second you start to tilt and things are going to chit.

Talk with friends, read read read, 2+2 it up, go down a level to rebuild confidence, or just take a break from all things related to poker for a couple days and clear your mind...all things I do and they work well.
