But seriously.
Play with a very large bankroll and the beats won't matter to you as much. Losing 10 buyins on a 20 buyin bankroll is devistating (sp?) both to your bankroll and to your psyche. Losing 10 buyins of a 50 buyin bankroll is "meh" but it doesn't mentally or financially destroy you.
Taking breaks for a few days or a week has always helped me. If things really go bad I sometimes switch sites or games for a while. I would recommend having some money on a secondary site that you can go to when things aren't going well on your primary site. This all might not be possible if you are playing for a living (I'm assuming you don't since you play 25NL). If you normally play NL on full tilt, try stud8 or 5draw on stars for a couple of days. Switching games/sites usually seems to break me out of any clouded mental state that seems to overcome me when I am running really bad.
