How to deal with insane beats in PLO

So I've had some sessions where I've lost to 2 outers and even 1 outer as well as 4 outers for large sums of money. Then I've climbed back to 5 buyin stacks or more only to lose to another 4 outer for 10 buyin pots which would have put me in a nice profit.
How does one deal with these kinds of things? I don't think I can play normal after these kinds of ordeals. I'm sure PLO regs can sympathize..

You just have to remind yourself that tough beats happen to everyone.

I don't get to play PLO but I'd thought that these type of beats were a regular feature of the game to the extent that they should really be referred to as 'beats.'
If that's the case there is nothing to complain about bec it's the game that you choose to play. 'Comes w/ the territory........' and all of that.

Tougher still are the 15-to-20 outers that you are drawing at and miss the draw in long series of hands ... while these long shots are hitting against your huge favorite hands. Gotta be rolled and have the right resilient, detached attitude to withstand it ... or just run good lol.

It's the nature of the game. If you can't accept it, go back to Hold 'em.

Start to take a break first. Those looses can affect our mental capabilities during the play. If your mind is calm and relax then I'm sure that will not happen.

quit the game and enjoy the silence of your mind and your soul.
