i had an awesome week of poker it almost seemed like i couldnt lose i started the week with 180$ and by the height of it i had 600$.
then things started to change, i was up about 80$-100$ one session a couple of days ago and decided to call it quits but i came back an hour or so later and thought i'd have another go as i'd been doing so well, i lost my buy-in quickly after losing with a fullhouse to a bigger fullhouse, then i lost another buy in and a half so i was down about 75$. now ever since i dont seem to be playing as good, my roll has dropped from 600$ to 450$ and i feel like my game has crumbled, i keep making mistakes, i dont seem to be hitting many of my hands. when i do finally start making profit i get my chips in with the best of it only for someone to suck out on me and put me right back where i started or even further behind...ugh!! how do i deal with this? or do i just suck it up and put it down to variance? for the last 3 days i've played a solid game....and made 0$ profit even though i've doubled up my buy-in almost everytime i've sat down.

How do you deal with this? What you do is understand that this is the game. You don't always win. Then, continue to play your game and worry about how your playing NOT THE RESULTS.

It really is THAT simple.
