Here's a little tip that sounds so simple yet it's a technique that has helped me quite a bit. In poker, discipline and mental/psychological stability is worth money. The best players in the world will lose quite a bit if they can't keep their temper. However, even the best of us are bound to get rattled by one too many bad beats, so here's a little technique I use to fight that ; don't look at your results.
Obviously, you need a very healthy bankroll to do this. If you only have a 10 buy-ins limit before stepping down, you need to keep track of those buy-ins to avoid going busto. Thus, if nothing else, this means that having a really solid bankroll will not only prevent you from being broke, it can also buy you peace of mind because you can focus on your play without bothering about the results.
Personally, I like to play with at least 60 buy-ins before stepping up to a new limit and I feel really comfortable when I have 100 buy-ins. This may seem nitty but it works for me. Everybody will require different amounts to handle the psychological swings that can occur when money fluctuates all over the place. In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with a 100 buy-in rule. That way, you can only bother looking at your results every 25, 50 or even 100k hands. Even though it won't guarentee a profit, it's almost guarenteed to limit your mental variance. Hope this helps and good luck at the tables!
