Yeah, I had days where every tournament was a failure. It's rare, but it's happened. I didn't get upset about losses and tried to play each next tournament better, but I failed. How to recover after a bad series? You just need to get some sleep. ;)

The most important thing is to stick to bankroll management. Those players who play in a disciplined manner will recover easily and quickly. Without bankroll management, you won't be able to keep your emotions under control and most likely it will only lead to new losses.

To recover from a poker slump, it is important to first accept failure as an inevitable part of the game, and then focus on analyzing your actions and trying to improve your strategy. You need to learn to separate your emotional state from the game and make critical decisions without panicking.
