For the past 2 weeks or so, I have been on a serious downslide. I can the handle the bad beats, or by making a bad read and paying for it. The big reason for my slide are the donkey's. Yes I know we want them, it just seems that I consistently drop money to them. Like this hand

The $5 river bet was small, because I had a feeling that he sucked out on me. And that's the reason why I post this, for the fact, that hand's like this have probably caused me to fold winning hand's. I have taken breaks, 2 or 3 days to start fresh again. This hand is after a 2 day break. Only to have it happen again and again. I guess what I'm looking for is some words of wisdom, how to get through these type of hands without pulling my hair out.
