what do i have to do?!!
justing venting but what do I have to do to get some luck in the mini?
click all in with my left hand? hold a black cat in my hands? close my eyes? lol
tonight sitting around top 20 with about 120 left. get dealt qq in bb, raise 4 times the blind after 2 limpers. sb calls and flop comes 10 9 4. chips go in and what does he have 9 10. he called about 1/3 of his stack with 9 10 off. my stack decimated.
get a double up, win a few pots and make the money. then get dealt kk in sb. short stack sitting in bb. cut off raises 3 x bb, I shove, short stack calls with 10 10 and cut off calls about for 25% of his stack with a8 suited. Ace hits. win that hand and i'd be in top 10 with 40 left.
similar things seem to happening every time I play this thing. started taking note of my all in situations about a week ago because it seemed to happen every time. its continued lol out of 8 flips I've won 2 (5 out of the 8 times I had the pair) and when I've went in with a pair and villain has 1 overcard and 1 under I've lost 4 out of 4 i.e. kk vs a9. reverse situation where I have 1 over and 1 under I lost it. where it's a case of a6 vs jq. I've lost 2 out of 2 (1 where I was slight fav going in and 1 where I wasn't). last night was aj vs a10. the 10 hits the flop.
I know I know small sample and I'm not suggesting sky is rigged or in anyway dodgy.
Just needed a good rant lol
I feel like this guy

very first hand of tonights mini
Keep playing the way you are !
the story of tonights mini
Didn't get many good hands early on but got my stack up to about 3.5k then run my QQ into KK all in preflop taking me down to 1600. now in survival mode on a short stack with blinds at 200. few shoves and I manage to get my stack up to around 2800 but blinds now 600.
Then something amazing happened lol I'm in bb and get dealt a5, player brand new to the table shoves for 2800 and it folds round to me. thinking he's maybe just been wiped out on the last table and shoving any two or something like kq/kj etc I decide to take a gamble. he has AQ. 5 hits the flop and I double up taking a bounty in the process!!! So I'm thinking at last my luck has changed I might get somewhere here.
Crash!!! back to reality when the following happens:
basically at the same time in the latter stages of a dym with 4 left I shove from db with about 6bigs left with 77 only to run into kk in the big blind.
Mega sigh!!! lol
