The Negative Poker Killer

Each day, most of us play a game of poker; either online poker or at a casino. Sometimes, for no known reason we have a losing streak. No matter what we do we can’t seem to win. With the losing streak and inability to win comes a huge amount of personal negativity. Let me tell you, without canning this negativity, this streak will not end.

As we sit at a poker table we vision what lies ahead in our poker tournament. Those who sit down saying to themselves “here we go again, time to lose” – lose! The negative energy they have embedded into themselves convinces them they can’t win. It kills their game, kills their chance of winning whatsoever. A person in a state of negativity will be holding pocket aces and wonder: who is going to be the player cracking my aces? Their aces seem to be cracked every time! Their focus is more on the cracking than playing them right.

Killing your game with negativity is a hard thing to avoid at times. Many people say “I am on a losing streak, when will this end?” This comment alone shows negativity; while you are negative, the losing streak won’t end! With a negative outlook you are setting yourself up for a loss in any poker variant, texas hold’em, Omaha, stud; basically, any internet poker game!

It has always been a suggestion from various people on poker forums to have a break when you are losing. I say simply kick the negativity and focus on the poker tournament AT HAND. Forget the losses and leave them behind. Clear your mind, clear your thoughts and start THIS game as one separated from the previous games you played and lost in. You do it when you win: “Wuuhuu! I won; next game”. The same applies to losses; “Next Game!”

Leave the past behind on the poker table, and of course, in life itself.
