How do you handle tilt when variance goes against you?

Had a rough run recently where I played well but kept running into bad beats. The hard part isn't losing, it's staying disciplined after. What do you do to reset mentally mid-session? Walk away or push through?

no cap yeah tbh i just take a lil break and reset bro, chasing while tilted is teh fastest way to punt it all ?

I remember one session I was down 4 buyins and instead of quitting I just sat out for a few hands, made a cup of tea and came back with a much clearer head. That small pause saved me from duping the rest of my stack honestly.

Last time this happened I literally stood up and did pushups in my room till my arms burned, weirdly it reset my brain and I stopped caring about the last hand.

Honestly I close the table immediately if it's a deepstack PLO session because the pot odds get so tempting you just end up punting with a dominated draw. Two bad beats in a row and I know I'll start 3betting J9 suited from the hijack like a maniac so stepping away for 15 minutes is the only move that saes me.

Walking away works way better for me, pushing through just bleeds chips.

Walk away

I closed the client mid hand once after a set cracked my aces, came back an hour later and realized I wouldve tilted off the rest of my stack.

Use a timer. Seven minutes away. No table.

I once folded a flopped set because I was so tilted I convinced myself he had the straight, turns out he was just bluffing with top pair. Now I force myself to sit out two orbits and splash water on my face before looking at my cards again.
