You just gotta keep plugging away and play good poker. You still haven't played that many hands, and you are up right? One day, when you move up and are no longer playing this limit, you'll wish more people played like them  . | Yeah, I'm not saying these are extraordinarily bad beats or anything, as I see it happen all the time. It's just ridiculous that it keeps happening over and over. Also, don't think I'm not happy seeing people play this way, I love it, as most of the time they're not gonna be hitting their miracle cards on the river.

Well it's about god damn time. I did something I figured I would probably regret and moved up a level while tilting a bit to chase some losses. Luckily I did have just over 20 buy ins for the level so it's not too bad, and it's definitely been going good. Finally.

Bad runs are sort of like the in-laws of your poker experience. You know they’re inevitably going to show up, even if you aren’t always sure when or why, you know that no matter how hard you try, there’s nothing you can really do to make the experience any better, and, worst of all, once they’re around, there’s absolutely no telling when they’re going to leave.
| This is one of the truest statements I have ever read. That was a good article, and I definitely recommend doing what it says. Just take it easy and only play when you feel you will be at your best. When you go to open up Tilt or Stars and you're immediately in a bad mood it's probably best to shut it down for a few days. And if you don't think you can, do a 3 day or a 7 day self exclusion. Then take the time and study your game, go through hand histories and most importantly, clear your head. As cliche as it sounds, the power of positive thinking can go a long way. I understand how shitty it feels when you've hit a bad run of cards and everyone is catching one outers on the river to stack you. But if you approach the game positively, eventually, good things will happen. And to prove to you that bad runs do end, and hopefully motivate you a little I'll post a few graphs.
Here's January: 
February: 
March so far: 
2010 so far: 
So just remember, it may take a while, but everything will start working out for you soon enough. And then you'll be really happy when people are calling off their whole stacks drawing to 2 outs.

Yeah, mixing it up with some 10NL, but focusing more on 25NL. Got about 3k hands so far this month.
