How do you deal with self-doubt at the tables? Do you have any routines or mindsets that help you stay confident when things aren’t going your way?

If you want to improve on it read the The Mental Game of Poker, they are good for it. I don't do much, but learnt that it's only a game, and if I'm loosing money (not actually because I made then from freerolls) it was part of my choice not to manage my bankroll better.

Yes, and it's most commonly used. Wear sunglasses & a hoodie (maybe from cardschat)?

Fake it till you make it, when you play enough you will get more confident. Until then work through the rough parts and understand everyone doubts themselves sooner or later.

The appearance of the other players was nicely presented.
I need to know my opponent's handrange so I can play well.
