You can think positive about variance too. That's what I do. When I have a bad run, I remember a time when I ran good. When I have a downswing, I remember a time when I had a big upswing. When I have a bad beat, I remember a time when I sucked out (and don't tell me you never suckout, you rarely get your money in bad so you don't suckout a lot of times, but you do it occassionaly). Save those memories somewhere in your mind.

I LOVE variance. It is the beauty of poker. Otherwise it would be just boring.

Just some psychological advice about how to deal with variance. By starting to love it. We are gamblers, right?

This is exactly my outlook on variance. 99% of the time I am able to maintain this optimistic attitude, but the other 1%...

The other 1% it is harder. For example, I can usually smile over one bad beat, but if you play 6 tables 6max and take four in a row, it is a little harder. But you can do it too.
