    btw... if you want a bad beat story that might make you feel a bit better...

    $162 tourney on ****another site****, >$20k up top and im 2nd in chips with 6 left.

    I raise pre with 66, folds roun to the BB (chip leader) who 3bets. we both have very deep stacks (> 100bb), so I call.

    Flop is 363...happy days!

    they check, i bet, they RR, I call.

    Turn is a blank. They bet again. At this point im pretty sure its a big overpair so I shove, they call and trun over AA. WOOOO go me, Im going to be a massive chip leader (probably more chips than everyone else put together) and vitrually a shoe in to win >$20k

    River A... Out. Was gutted for days if not weeks after that.

    all i do is try and get my chips in when im ahead ( which is most of the time ). that is what poker is about at the end of the day right?

    Hi Burns Bad luck doesnt last forever - there can be 10's or even 100's of tourneys when it just doesn't go your way. I can tell you though in the long run it evens out. It can often feel like it doesn't though because the bad beats hurt alot more than the good luck feels good. I recently suffered a big downswing -check my sharscope! I lost about £1.5k in 100ish games, and I'm normally a winning player. I was getting beats like yours above all the time and couldn't seem to get out of my rut. I looked into dealing with downswings and found a video on cardrunners which really helped - the advice that stuck out for me, and is probably relevant for you too was:  - its not luck, its you. Even if it IS luck, its still your fault. Think that the problem is you and use your downswing as a opportunity to look at what you are doing wrong. Analyse your hands and find leaks (there will be many probably) and focus on your decisions, not the results... Sift through your hand history and look at the big pots you were involved in and figure out how well you played each hand. if your not sure, get help on the forums with hands. you should start to build a picture of how you have been playing and be able to identify common costy mistakes. - its just a game, your problems are insignificant compared to many peoples. lighten up a bit and it will help stop you tilting.  - If there were no bad beats, there would be hardly any bad players (because the would just lose all the time). Feel glad that you got your money in ahead and were beat, because it encourages the bad play, and in the long run you will profit from it even if you didnt this time. If you do the above, when you do eventually have a good run you will be even better placed to take advantage and take a big score!

    What a load of bullsh1t you have just wasted your time typing nobody can be a serial winner on skypoker because its rigged to f0ck u can even tell by watching the late stages of tournaments on the tv channel, when the big stack calls your all in regardless of what u have you are gone

    Hi Burn. I hope you dont take this the wrong way as it is meant with the best intentions.
    I played in a MTT (NL  Holdem) on your table from the start the other day and you really need to look at your play before blaming the beats all the time.
    You were limping in a lot.
    You were limping in then flatting raises OOP.
    In the later stages you were open raising way to big. Sometimes 4 or 5 xBB.
    These are the most basic things that maybe could improve your chances of doing well in MTTs.


    Ofcourse you will still get bad beats we all do . This last month has been my worst ever so I know.
    I am not saying I know everything or even most things but these are just a few basic errors that could improve your results if fixed.

    (This is based on one MTT and about 2 hours at the same table so I apologise if this was not your normal play).

    Burnshurtz - I hope I don't come across rude, but here it goes...

    What is the point of posting all these bad beats when u don't actually listen to anyone when they give u advice? IMO you will continue to get 'bad beats' while u play the way u do. The only way to improve your results is to try and work on your game.  alot of these 'bad beats' are hardly worth even mentioning and the rest are unlucky , yes, but it happens to everyone!

    I tried to advise you earlier in the thread for getting out of a rut and u didn't even acknowledge it, others have given Youadvice on how to reduce the number of suck outs and you just make an off the cuff remark which clearly indicates you have no intention of following the advice. 

    Are your intentions as a poker player to seek 'bad luck' and then let everyone know about it? Looks like it at the moment! If you continue as you are people will just get fed up and stop responding and your posts with useful comments and they will turn into more useless 'evidence' that poker is rigged. It's not.

    Burnshurtz - I hope I don't come across rude, but here it goes... What is the point of posting all these bad beats when u don't actually listen to anyone when they give u advice? IMO you will continue to get 'bad beats' while u play the way u do. The only way to improve your results is to try and work on your game.  alot of these 'bad beats' are hardly worth even mentioning and the rest are unlucky , yes, but it happens to everyone! I tried to advise you earlier in the thread for getting out of a rut and u didn't even acknowledge it, others have given Youadvice on how to reduce the number of suck outs and you just make an off the cuff remark which clearly indicates you have no intention of following the advice.  Are your intentions as a poker player to seek 'bad luck' and then let everyone know about it? Looks like it at the moment! If you continue as you are people will just get fed up and stop responding and your posts with useful comments and they will turn into more useless 'evidence' that poker is rigged. It's not.

    Lol, maybe it was a bit blunt but I think my points were valid... Maybe try to post occasional hands in the poker clinic instead- I think that would be a lot more useful to you :)

    id already decided last night/early in the morning that i was never going to post hands again. i think it puts me in a bad mood.
    On a good note, ive made 4 FTs since last night.

    Nice work! I agree- one of the things that will make you play worse and feel tilty all the time is fixating on bad beats! I'm glad you have turned a corner and I'm sure your results will improve as a result :)

    Look forward to seeing u on a final table in the near future!
