i have been on an awful run for the past few days and i must admit it is seriously starting to effect my game!!! anyway, i finally hit a bit of good form and get to the bubble in the 400 gtd mtt and i get this hand. i know i should have raised pre but i just called mainly because i'm running bad and am expecting the worst every hand!! apart from the limp did i play this hand all wrong??? this bubble has made me even more frustrated!!!! lol should i have a rest for a few days or simply drop down a few levels?? i am running bad in mtt's and dyms! advice MUCH needed!!!

    I wouldnt limp there lol

    as for the flop hard to put them on 6 or 44, i probably do the same

    even if you raise pre unless he shoves dont think your ever folding, its debateable whether if he shoves you should be calling depends what hands you think he could be doing this with.

    Unlucky mate sure will change soon

    You limp because you're on the bubble and you wanna preserve your stack right'?

    Total opposite of what you should be doing - It's a great time to increase your stack by playing aggressively pre flop and on the flop.

    Raise to 850ish pre flop, fold if u get re-raised.

    Don't say "I knew I shouldn't have limped" - then limp again in this situation next time.....

    It wont work.
