PokerCoaching How to Thrive When Running Bad is a 6-module framework from Jonathan Little on one of poker’s most misunderstood separators between long-term winners and losers: the ability to perform well during sustained downswings. Jonathan opens with his own experience: “I actually think this is what separates a lot of the winners from the losers — inevitably, whenever you are playing poker for a long period of time, you will run bad.” This course documents exactly how he navigates those periods.

📚 Course Structure — 6 Modules
| Module | Content |
|---|---|
| Part 1 | Introduction — why running bad reveals character, and the systematic approach Jonathan uses vs. the reactive approach most players default to |
| Part 2 | Physical and lifestyle adjustments — Jonathan’s Barcelona example: alcohol, sleep disruption and how small physical mistakes amplify variance |
| Part 3 | Decision separation — distinguishing between running bad (variance) and playing bad (leaks emerging under pressure) |
| Part 4 | Session management during downswings — stop-loss rules, session length adjustments and when to quit early vs. grind through |
| Part 5 | Mental reframing — how to evaluate poker performance on decision quality rather than session results during bad runs |
| Part 6 | Long-term thriving — systematic habits that reduce the magnitude of downswings and compress recovery time |
🎯 Key Insight
Jonathan’s most powerful point: during the Barcelona downswing he references, the mistakes weren’t at the poker table — they were the night before (too much alcohol, poor sleep). Running bad and playing bad are completely different problems requiring completely different solutions. Most players conflate them and fix the wrong thing.
