    i just had a £5.50 buy in DYM and i was hitting everything. was getting dealt some nice cards and was dominating with 9000 chips with 4 people left. got a straight flush to the King as well. 

    im saying this because i was getting [b]terrible[/b] hands earlier and was getting a few bad beats which really peeved me off::: all in pre-flop AQ v A6, opponent gets a straight with 6!

    goes to show how your luck and hands can change. nothing to worry about.

    Perhaps you are looking at this the wrong way? It isn't that you have had a long run of bad hands, we all get that, maybe you were playing too nitty (fold,fold,fold)? Maybe you are letting the cards completely dictate your play, a lot of the time it's not the cards you have, its your position on the table, how many times did you steal a pot in that hour? many a time i've been 'card dead' for an hour or more in a tourney, but i've still managed to increase my chip stack! Try not to analyse the cards you get on there own for an hour,look at the whole picture, the way you played, look at what you did when in position, no one ever won a tourney without doing a few 'moves' don't rely on the cards all the time, they are only part of the battle, the main part is the betting. Good luck at the tables (unless your playing me!)
