Upswings and downswings: mindset in variance
Poker brings runs both ways. Stop-loss, rest, and notes beat empty pep talk.

In a downswing, the easy mistakes are moving up, grinding longer, and picking events emotionally. Return to notes: which decisions are repeatable? What is just result noise?
Set rest rules: two busts in a row or emotional tilt means stop. Upswings are dangerous too—ego pushes you into buy-ins you should skip.
