Dealing With Variance

Just curious what some of you other members do to deal with extended rough patches...I know it's part of the game but it's still frustrating as hell when people either get lucky or I run into the top of their range over and over. Don't think he pokerstars stress star is gonna do it for me

I just ask myself  "Did I

I just ask myself  "Did I make the right decision?"  If I did and I was ahead of the other player when I got my chips in I try to accept it and move on.  I played several winning players tonight who had alot more experience than me but when it mattered I went in way ahead of them and they sucked out on me over and over.  Last match I just played I was up 2:1 in chips, end up all-in pre with AQs.  He has A9o.  Flop comes A39.  He's up 2:1 now.  A few hands later I go all-in pre with JJ for 8bb, he calls with 44...flop comes T42.  I've only played 4 matches tonight and they've all run like that so far.  Normally those situations over and over would tilt me but I know I played fine, cards just didn't come my way and I can't control that =)
