Poker mental game: why do swings affect some players way more than others.

i’ve always noticed some folks just ride out the bad beats without blinking, while others spiral quick. it’s not just about bankroll size either. sometimes you see the guy with the deep stack still rattled after a few coolers, but the short stack just shrugs and waits for the next spot. tried keeping a poker journal myself, it helped some, but the variance still gets under my skin when it piles up.

wondering if it’s more about personality, or maybe something in your history with other gambling? anyone here actually figured out a way to keep tilt from sneaking up, or is it just part of the ride for everyone?
