i think one of the most important things to do which is probably the hardest thing to do is remain disciplined and paitent. Changing your game based on emotion or a "bad run of cards" is an error in my opinion.

If you are running bad for an extending period then you really need to consider if it is really the cards.

Take time to step back and analyze why you are having a bad run. Reread poker books or read posts on this site, anaylze plays that didn't feel right (even winning ones) to see if there are possible leaks in your game. If you see a pattern in you game that might be contributing to the bad run and you can't figure out how to fix it, post it here you will get an answer.

Good luck!!

Indeed. Most players who think they are running bad are just ATM's for the rest of us. They started poker on a real hot streak and have been donating since, waiting for the bad luck to end.

Bad luck comes and sometimes hard, but there is always an end or you're in trouble.
