Default Today I Declared I'd Never Play Poker Again...

... That is untill i enter a $10 S'n'G 5 seconds l8r.... the reason for this outburst is my absolutely poor effort in two particular MTT's....

The first takes place at Pokerroom in a $5+.5 MTT which out of 241 entrants, i achieved 27th place... which in 7 short of cashing..... dissapointing

10 minutes l8r in an AP $5+.5 MTT i placed 21st of 124.... of course only 18 cashed..... very dissapointing....


ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

you must be a pretty good player to make it as far as u have so just figure out what your doing wrong late in tourneys and correct it.I take alot of badbeats late in tourneys so i feel your frustration just play tighter when your close to cashing and play good hands you should improve your position

It's easy to focus on results, but there's a more important thing to consider, which is how you played. Did you make good decisions? In particular, on the key hands that led to your ultimate results - which are not necessarily the hands you busted out on - did you get your chips in with the best of it, and as how strong a favorite?

Rivers flow yes. Rivers spurt no.
brooks have been known to burble or even gurgle
So perhaps he was close to the burble when he got knocked out.

I know exactly what happened.... I made a very stupid decision to call over half my stack on a draw..... a very good draw mind u (overcards, flush, inside straight) got commited turned my overcard and ran into AA.... i mean i should never have called in the first place.... i had QJ... which at that point i would not have called any substantial preflop raise had i not had 1/3 of it in on the bb.... im fairly sure the 2nd tourney was me going on tilt... QQ raised 5x bb bout 5th my stak.... got raised... called board rainbow K49 other bet i raised all in.... its as clear as day the guy had AK... but I've given myself a reality chek and im going back a step and i'm playing mutli table S'n'G's only $2... doing well so far $50 up or so in 2 days... I'm working on it.... thanks for the reassurances guyz......

Sorry bout my horrible spelling....

you can't cash ever time. its just the way it is. Even if you were the best player in the world i would bet that you would not cash every time.

Remember that if you have 14 outs or better on the flop (and It sounds like you had around 15) makes you the favorite, so your call was not a dumb move but a good one. A better move might have all in since half your stack was gone anyway, depending on the blinds and your viability after committing half your stack. Of course the guy sitting on aces would have likely called, but he would have been very uneasy about it since you could be representing two pair or trips. A guy with a lesser hand may have folded.
