It’s challenging in two ways:

The first, and most obvious way, is financially IDN POKER

The best we can do is prepare ourselves mentally for downswings, just like how we prepare our bankrolls IDN POKER TERBARU to absorb them. If we accept that downswings are inevitable, the variance becomes a lot easier to deal with.
