    i took two bad beats today, had my full house kings over queens busted by quad queens, and my trip jacks busted by trip queens. I got river screwed twice and now i need ideas to help clear my mind of these bad beats. What does everyone else do to clear their heads?

    this

    and the fact that it will happen again, and again, and again, lead me to believe that I need to get over it and on to the next hand.

    I keep a spreadsheet with notes (usually just the last hand that busts me) and after the details of the bad beats I write....... meh........ next hand please........... no need wasting energy getting upset about things we have no control over.

    Now if I make the mistake in the hand, not the villian who comes from behind with a bad beat, this is a much different story......... These can fester....... meh.....

    I was running really bad for about 3 weeks. I took a week off from poker. I came back w/ a clear mind and a little more motivation, I also feel that I am playing much better.

    As one who has followed both the Grateful Dead and Phish from show to show, I can hardly separate myself from the denizens who would be shouting "Weed!"

    But, this fine gentleman already may have been tetra hydra canniboiling it before he took these beats.

    I say, it's a confidence game.

    Drop down a level, win a game, get your confidence back. Go get them again.

    Been riding my bike a lot lately. Trying to do 6 miles every day after work, especially if I'm going to be playing cards that night. It puts space between work and cards and I sit down feeling great.
