Well, that's just Perfect!

And so today I bubble the 6th tounament in 9 days. marking a continue to my non-stop barrage of losing games mounting up, & my Bankroll diminishing substantially. if it reaches £0. I'm done.

I know it's all supposed to average out, but I realised a while ago that every tournament I've locked up or cashed in, at some point in it, got my chips in bad & got lucky. every time I play a good quality turnament & fold in the (I think) right places & only ever get my chips in good, results in busting.

Therefore in order to win you should just think"damn it..." & chuck your chips in with some tosh & if you luck it, you'll probably go on to win.

I know the call below isn't attrociouis, given stack sizes relative to the Blinds, but still, I'd like just once for a late stage play to go in my favour.

Mate - I've won a bank and lost a bank recently. Thats the way I see it on these runs. Waste of time but at least not money as it was all profit. But still, up then down. up then down, etc

Oh well, we just have to say 'see yah' to the site when the bank goes IMO. Unless we can roll one up from small stakes again.

I've just become too impatient to play anymore, - in my haste to shut down the stations quickly in a hand, I've upped my pre & post flop bet sizes.. The result? -

I just get knocked out faster, - prime example, - small field MTT, Blinds 10 / 20, one player raises to 250(!!) someone else calls! - comes to me in late pos with AKs, - a raise to 1K would be 50% of my starting stack, so I shove. - get called by A-Qoff & I'm out 2 seconds later.

Why bother?

Know how you feel, when trying to win, often correctly - ie getting all in ahead. Then you lose them. There is nothing other than to say, you would win long term I know. But it hurts.
