Default Re: How can I learn how to handle losing better?

Learn more about the game.

Learn why you won't in every session.

Learn how to analyze a hand.

Learn that sometimes you are doomed to lose a hand no matter what you did. Extend that to losing sessions.(granted, if you're playing well. Honesty is key there)

Learn why you should like people putting bad beats on you. (Also realize those beats aren't personal)

Learn why winning pots is irrelevent to winning poker.

Once you understand those, the bad feelings won't be near as strong and will take much longer to take it's toll.

So now I think I stink at poker and all that success was just dumb luck.

It might've been. Study the game and find out if it was.
