Poker - Maximize Wins/minimize Losses
If you play poker regularly and your goal is win money on a consistent basis, you must not see every session as an end in itself and try to force wins when they just may not be there. Again, you can't win every time. During the times you lose, restrict your losses to a reasonable amount. You can't win every session, but if you're good, you can win most of them. Just as it's important to maximize your winnings at every winning session, it's equally important to minimize your losses at the losing ones.
