There is nothing you can do about running bad. Poker players really eat, breathe and sleep this crap, btw. And although it may seem like you can do things, it's really just superstition. Although changing venues, for poker, can maybe help a bit, because a new physical environment can shake up your focus, and playing against opponents who haven't been beating your brains out the past weeks (and thus gotten confident and A-gamish on you) can be a good thing.

If you're properly managing your betting, you should naturally be betting less as your BR shrinks. Let that happen.

But then there's this: if you're gut-capping (as opposed to modeling) then losing can get you second guessing yourself. It doesn't have to be mere variance causing your losing, it can become poor play. Again, this is a poker thing, wherein you have to accept that bad luck can cause bad play, but it applies to gut-capping sports bettors.

For weak players, a little bad luck can knock them off their game. Almost by definition, the better a player you are, the more bad luck it will take to affect your decision making. But if it DOES affect your decision making, GHU. Maybe taking time off will help, but I doubt it, because you'll still have the bad run on the back of your mind when you come back.

Best, instead, to chill about your past results. Just wake up every day saying fuggit, and dive back in. Ultimately, understanding the nature of variance should bring you some real peace about it and thus keep it from affecting your decision making. And that's what you want, and all you should want: no affect on your decision making.

Good luck.
