The best advice I can give is remember it's a bad beat and don't think you have some goods owed to you now by the poker gods. I'm always fighting this problem. Last night for example I dropped $200 because of this. Had two bad beats on a 100NL table one after another that robbed me of my buy-in rather quickly. So what did I do? Bought in again and charged in with my head down and ended up getting taken out in one fell swoop a few hands later because I convinced myself "this" was my hand. It was stupid and realized I deserved to lose that hand when I sat out and looked at it with a clearer head.

So I guess to sum it up, I'm trying to say simply don't let the bad beats put you on tilt. That's the element you do control, is you continuing to play your A game. The beats can never be controlled.

And if you think you've been getting a lot of bad beats, look through your hand histories once you're out of the game and you might see something a little more clearer than you did during the actual game. And post a few questionable ones in the hand histories section so the experts here can rip you apart for being so stupid That's what I do and it seems to knock something loose that brings my game up to speed.
