Dealing with losses

Things to do when losing:

1. Step down in stakes.

2. Buckle down, review hands and study harder.

3. Tighten up.

4. Refocus on hand reading and hand ranges.

Did you forget stuff like:

yell/cuss at computer.
kick the cat.
throw things.

Anyway, that's what I do (in addition to what you mentioned above).

At least poker can't cut you like the Braves did with Glavine after his minor league start.

5. Turn off wifi to prevent spies from cracking your network and viewing your hole cards.
6. Make promises to poker gods if your overpair holds just this once.
7. Bluff like crazy because your made hands sure ain't holding up.
8. Turn off the stats because hey, it worked for Luke in Star Wars.
9. E-mail Full Tilt and ask them to turn off the doom switch.

- email friends with hand histories showing how moronic your idiot opponents are

- tell opponents that they are morons

- put in multiple 4,000 hand sessions until you're winning again
