We all have those nights where nothing goes right. What’s your personal reset routine so tilt doesn’t carry into the next session? Do you take a full break, review hands immediately, or sleep it off?
 
Bad beat can be a pain in the ass. Sometimes you just have to take a walk away for a while untill you are more composed to play again. You can't jump straight back into tables with anger.
 
I take breaks and try to clear my mind of all poker-related thoughts. I'm constantly working on my discipline, so I only play when I'm in the right mindset. I've found that making good decisions at the table starts with being mentally focused before I even sit down to play.
 
After a tough session, I try to disconnect completely for a while and not think about the game. I go back to playing only after a complete reset. Sometimes resetting can take weeks.
