"The correct mindset for playing Texas Hold'em poker includes:

1. **Long-Term Focus, Ignoring Short-Term Results:** Avoid being overly concerned with short-term outcomes. Common signs of being too fixated on short-term results include emotional instability, trying to recover losses quickly, cashing out when winning, getting frustrated with bad players, and losing self-confidence.

2. **Decision-Making Matters Most, Outcomes Don't:** Prioritize making the right decisions over the immediate results of those decisions. In poker, as in life, sometimes the right choices don't yield immediate success, but they are crucial for long-term success.

3. **Stay Humble, Approach with Confidence:** Keep your ego in check and be prepared to face challenges with confidence. Arrogance can lead to poor decision-making, while confidence can help you stay focused and make better choices.

4. **Maintain Equanimity:** Maintain emotional balance and composure regardless of wins or losses. Avoid getting too excited or too down when things are going well or poorly. A calm and composed mindset leads to better decision-making.

5. **Continuous Self-Reflection and Learning:** Consistently review your gameplay and seek opportunities for improvement. The learning process in poker is ongoing, and those who constantly seek to refine their skills tend to perform better over time.

The role of mindset in a poker player's success is akin to a successful company's attitude towards its customers. An incorrect mindset can make it challenging to sustain success based solely on technical skills. Conversely, with the right mindset, everything else tends to fall into place, leading to better results in the long run."

Even with the best mindset, continuous losses can lead to frustration
