Default variance help

how does everyone deal with variance/monkey tilt? i think i need to start excersising again or something to get my mind off poker. im pretty sure i have a partypoker bike somewhere.

basically my last 3 weeks have been consistant losing at the highest stakes leading to the worst case of lifetilt/lack of confidence in my entire life. bbv what it do?

Why don't you stick to 5k and 10k NL? Obviously the swings of 2-60k nl hurt you as per this post.

Do you think you have an edge in those games?

learn a new game like o8 or stud. play much lower and just treat it like a pet project until you get your head straight for nl.

and stay the [censored] away from HU, as it is assuredly the easiest way to turn a bad run into life busto.

and get a dog maybe?

I don't understand why you don't just crush 5k nl and make a nice income from that...

Learn how to invest the money won from "low stakes" and then make good cash from that and rely less and less on poker.

Npz.
