Re: Winning and losing sessions
Here is a radical approach.
When you are having a losing seesion because you are card dead or you are getting bad beats, welcome it. It means you are playing good poker. Work on minimizing your losses. Remain tight and in control.
When you have a winning session because the deck is hitting you in the face, analyze it to see if you are getting the maximum value you can. See if you are winning because you are getting lucky or because you are making good decisions.
Remember also that a "session" is simply a small slice of a very long game. If you own any stocks do you check them every day and get depressed if they are down? No you don't because if you picked a good blue chip stock they will have ups and downs but will rise over the long run.
Concentrate on your decisions, your state of mind and the profitability of the game you are in. Play for a set amount of time. Play within your bankroll. Have fun and forget about the money. If you play good poker, the money will take care of itself.
