I'm not near the poker player as some of the rest of the guys on here,,but that has happened to me..I think what happens is you work hard to get up and then you get the bad beat and even though you tell yourself not to go on tilt you do and you start playing different than you did before,,you start to hope you catch a card when normally you would fold,,so after a bad beat maybe leave the table and do something else and come back later...
