back after banning myself for a month

will I regret it ? starting to already played 2 mtt ,sitting there getting dealt same old cards, building my chip stack up slowly. and go out of both tourneys to people who shouldn't even call a raise but hit on the river both times , way bigger chip stacks than me so I shouldn't be surprised , il keep plugging away till this bank roll as gone then that be it for me il quit playing altogether.

So you mean... you went away, came back... and the game of poker hadn't changed?

Hey Screwy

It might be worth looking at your hand histories, could you have played your 2 exit hands differently?

Could be bad beats, but there might be mistakes in there too.

Might help you to post some hands on the pokerclinic, and all different manner of players will give you feedback on the hands.

Also, do you follow any sort of bankroll management? If you are losing quite a bit, maybe try playing lower stakes.

Most importantly are you enjoying your poker? The tone of your post would suggest maybe not. If at this time you arn't maybe take a bit of a longer break away from the game. If you are not enjoying it it's not worth it.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide.

If you are propagating the myth that the larger stacks always win, then there's an easy way to profit. When a smaller stack than you raises and you're last to act, just go all in. Sound ridiculous? You bet!

Larger stacks can put pressure on post flop, and they may be willing to take a chance given you could be shoving light depending on your stack size - even moreso in a BH tournament.  I'm willing to bet that the horrendous beats you're moaning about are mainly you losing 60/40s, like when someone calls your AQ with KJ or whatever.

Don't quit the game because you don't understand probability, but by all means quit if you're not enjoying it. Good luck.

you are correct in your observations.  you have started to notice.  in a tournament of 300 players, the number of players being knocked out by a larger stack is 299.  that's how it works, everytime.

This sounds plausible.

Is there a link to a video on YouTube, explaining this in more detail?

Thank you

sorry m8 was abit wasted last night,its just that i,ve read so many posts like the op thinking like its some kind of conspiricy when really the problem is you dont seem to understand the variance aspect of the game,learn to cope more with the variance aspect of the game the easier and more relaxed you,ll play and profits should return

play within your BR beats shouldn,t hurt

anyways gl screwy

I understand variance aspect AA win 80% of the time KK will lose to AK some of the time same as other pairs if someone holding higher card than you but what im getting at is your dealt AA blinds 1000/500 your raise to 4000 some one calls you all in with 24 and beats you time and time again always the larger stack at late stage of tourney!! just pees you of after sitting there for a few hours but im going to limp in now with decent hands see how that goes
