Absolutely, your advice is spot on. Downswings are inevitable in poker, and how players handle them mentally and strategically can greatly impact their long-term success. Developing a strong mindset to handle variance, reviewing and analyzing hands to learn from mistakes, seeking feedback from peers or coaches, and taking breaks when needed are all important aspects of managing downswings effectively. Additionally, understanding that short-term results do not always reflect one's true skill level is essential for maintaining confidence during tough times. It's all about staying focused on the bigger picture and trusting the process.
