I know that every one of us had this day when we all thought that it's our day but it's not. I myself honestly say that there are still times that I lose control of everything when this happens, I tend to get frustrated immediately (especially when it comes to poker) when I know that I have a losing card. It makes my day from bad to worst. How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?

Though before I've reached a point in where I'll be having a thought of chasing my loses, I'll leave the table and look for a dessert or sometimes when I bring my car, there's a clothing that I can rip just to let my frustrations out. (It may sound absurd but it really works for me, after that my mind is clear, no frustrations then I'll go back and finish my visit)
I think it differs a lot from person to person what is done during the frustration to feel better. It's good that you don't try playing the game when you know the cards are bad. It means you still manage to take gambling under control. Eating something sweet or ripping clothes is not so bad at all. For me it's best to go and breathe some fresh air, perhaps buy something tasty in a store or, if a situation is really bad, go jogging. People get excited after exercising, so it sort of cheers up. Surely it's better to gradually stop gambling if it doesn't bring you more joy than frustration anyway.

To get rid of these feelings, it may help you visualize your luck as stars in the night sky where empty space matches ill luck (or let it be lack of luck) while good luck matches groups of stars. You will see that most of the time, well, technically space it is nothing but lack of luck, but ultimately you will hit a constellation, and this is what you should really care about and enjoy. Really, why should you care about something which doesn't even exist in the first place?

Never ending bad beats and coolers.  It's what made me quit playing poker, after playing it for around 5 years.  It was like my second job.

For a time I thought I was doing fine, winning here and there at small to mid stakes, playing a lot and continually studying the game trying to be better at it.  Then one day, I just stopped winning consistently anymore.  And I couldn't explain it.  Maybe it's the game evolving and moving too fast for me to adapt, or maybe I was just running good and the poker gods decided to turn off my run good switch.

But then one day I decided enough was enough.

Sounds like the early days on ps, masstabled at that time, then Us guys where locked out & tons of chinese bots joined - no idea what it was but online poker def changed around that time, lot consistent players went off as i recall.

The problem with Losing streaks is that the player who is in the bad streak, is most likely will try to keep betting to return his funds, and it may cause him to bet on funds that he didn't plan to bet on( or on funds that he had to keep and he can't afford to lose), and may cause him to lose those funds and to get into serious troubles.

Losing Streak is an affect of being addicted to gambling,The addiction causes the player to forget about the limits he set to himself and causes him to get into troubles.

I think that standing in front of a losing streak is one of the main tests to check if you are a gambling addict, if you are okay with the losing streak and you still won't break your limits, then you are fine and you can assume that you are not a gambling addict.

Frustration can really leads you to do bad things and this is not a good thing. Don’t gamble if you can’t afford to loose because in the first place you are not their just to make money but to have fun also so don’t forget to have fun no matter what. If you loose, accept it and move on but never chase back of what you loose.

People who get frustrated are those people who gamble for money and not for fun. Its a normal human behavior that greed overtakes everything else. Because if you generally play for fun and even if you lose you would not be much bothered because you know your limits and also you had played for fun.

But on other side when you play for money and you lose, you will gamble more to recover the loss and if you still end up losing your frustrations begins to start..

I usually stop and smoke a cigaretes or watching funny videos to handle my frustrations from losing streak from gambling to calm my self and clear my mind from anger because of lossing after my frustrations gome i try again to play amd when a still lossing i usually stop gambling for a couple days or a week.

Frustrations is only lead losing in gambling if you cannot control your anger while playing gambling you should stop gambling fo good.

You should never try to recover your losses. It's a known fact that when frustration strikes you can't act wisely so you shouldn't play, especially a game like poker which needs your concentration. If one day you lose an amount which is big enough for the day, stop playing, relax, do something else or just take a walk, do whatever you want but don't start playing in the same day because the Losing Streak you've mentioned is awaiting you. Next day or couple of days later start with fresh mind, keep calm. Good luck!

Don't play when you are having losing streaks. I usually play 1 bet in soccer per day and I also offer this tip to others so they can benefit from it too. I used to have one or two bad runs and in this case what I do is to stop playing for 1 or 2 days until my brain is fully relaxed (just like a phone when is charged at full capacity) and then I start playing again. If I continue to play by not relaxing I risk to make a big losing streak while I never had more than 4 consecutive losses.
The key is to quit when you realize that you have just entered in a losing streak until you are fully relaxed.

I guess what you really needed is that outlet of anger in your body and letting everything out. You may just do that to prevent yourself from more losses and games. Some people don't do that and prefer other methods. I think if that works for you, then continue it. We shouldn't be negative about the things we encounter.

How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?

Take some break and Drink some Coffee and Think Twice before you play. To control your anger remember that thing you loves the most and You will feel well and your emotions will win over the Game and you will save your money by this way. Remember always think positive do not think that you're losing the game and be confident sometimes your negativity wins and you loose by this reason only.

Frustration results bad things only , you will realise when your mind will be free and you think what you do today ,  do some meditation once in a day to control your mind... that actually works

How do you handle your frustrations when losing streak strikes?
I take a break from gambling when i'm losing more than I used to. Starting over with a new deposit and forget about my previous losses. I become less frustrated everytime i'm in a losing streak because i'm slowly getting used to lose a lot and then move on from it. I also avoid spreading negativity and always think positive about your bets to gain confidence.

This is a quiet normal pseudonym with gambler's, a constant struggle whether to quit or fight, a fight between dark and the light side, the force within us is always killing us, and there's nothing wrong with what you feel, honestly it's a brave act to stop while you yet can, otherwise it becomes to late, sometimes taking a break, pampering oneself is really good, cause that refreshes our neurons so relax and gamble hard and safe.

Online Poker is a zero sum game - you pay aprox 10% in fees on everything, the odds are simply against you.
Why play poker if you can have real crypto / stockmarket access with way fairer odds if you know what you do.

Look, i love the poker game, and i love to play it online, however, since the odds are so bad i only play for very very marginal sums purely to enjoy the game - for money i go to real markets.

Well, if you are getting so frustraded because of gambling, while playing poker or any other such game. Just stop. If you have not set a limit for the money you are going to use in gambling, just do it and dont exceed that limit. If you keep on losing and it makes your day from bad to worst, just don't gamble that day. There are other things to do too. Just dont try to win back your loss as it may bd even more frustrating. I would suggest you to actually quit gamblinh if you are having such issues.

Frustrations cant really be avoided since no man or gambler do really like to have a bad card or any bad bets which they know that they would eventually lose up on that particular round. People do handle their frustrations or anger in different ways. There are people who do handle frustrations on breaking things or tearing it up. Some people would just simply have a break like drinking water or snacks to ease the frustrations that they do feel. It would just depend.
