Poker variance is simply all about the changes that we experience in output when playing poker, which can happen as a result of skill, chance, or some other factors. One of the ways that one can deal with poker variance is having a positive mindset that these changes can happen once in a while. What other ways can you get to handle poker variance?
 
Variance can be brutal. I handle variance in tournaments when I'm in a downswing by taking breaks, repeat, and grind. Trust in the process.
 
Controlling your bankroll is a vital factor when dealing with poker variance. But it's neccessary to know that a stable bankroll is needed and it requires enough funds to cover short-term losses and preventing yourself from playing beyond your available funds.
 
Quit playing when you still have something left if you can't be able to keep cool in that type of situation have always been my MO once I find myself in that position.
