Mix in a dozen or so gut shot insane hits + bad 2 prs on river. These are a mixture of live and online. Just really awful hands as your going broke on virtually all of them, given strength of hand till river spawn card shows up. Am a big fan of pot control, but know real reason to pot control these hands, just looking to extract. Have lost the best part of 3K in last 9 days, s am pretty sure I'd give you a run for your money running bad wise.
Hope it turns round for you bud.

Hand 1 (9-45) - We've been playing for an 1 & 3/4 hours, I'm in 5th/17 from 85 entrants, 10 get paid. This pot is played against the runaway chip leader, I get it in on the flop with 80% equity for a pot that will move me up to 2nd in chips, my equity increase to 88.7% on the turn, my opponent rivers one of his 6 outs to win the pot and eliminate me.
Hand 2 (10-45) - I get it all-in on the flop with TPTK and 86.7% equity against an underpair. By the turn I have 95.5% equity, then my opponent manages to river a 2-outer to eliminate me.
chin up and keep grinding.
Unlucky Gary, I feel your pain. I must of been bubble boy more times than anyone on here in the last 6 months but know, like you, are not doing anything drastically wrong. Hang in there mate and I hope it turns around for you soon. It better for me or I will have to get a milk round to make ends meet, and I ain't a morning person!, lol.
BTW...The 'rule according to area51' is that in a B/H (regardless of actual cards), the bigger chip stack ALWAYS wins. Hope this helps )
Interestingly, your called my marginal hands in real marginal spots in these hands (other than last). Solid thinking poker out there . Hand 1 and 3 are just dreadful.
Could I ask why you went all-in on the first two?
Also, bad luck on 3rd. Had that happen to me last week and I don't play anywhere near the number of hands you play!!

Not trying to hijack your question, but was about to start a thread regarding people limping short stack in Tournaments.
So am not answering your question but sincerely put a question to you, as I think your likely the perfect candidate to answer it. Questions being (1) why wouldnt you go all with those hands?, (2) why wouldnt you go allin in that position? (3) why wouldnt you go all wiith those stacks?
Sincere Q's as I've seen people doing this a lot lately, I have my opinion but would love to hear your thinking before I put my thoughts out there (if thats ok).
Thanks for posting Dueces, I don't feel quite so bad now I know I'm not alone, that AA v AA hand in particular is sick.
I'm trying to stay philosophical, all I can do is get my chips in good, bad luck can't last forever. I feel like I'm not tilting and still playing well, my roll has taken quite a hit lately but it's still in pretty good shape. I keep reminding myself that despite this run I've made a 4-figure profit so far this year, not bad for a low stakes recreational player. When my cards start holding as often as they should and I can win my fair share of flips I know I'll be back to winning ways.
Having said that I've gone all-in recently oop with 30BB's with 98o! lol
I know, position, position, position!!
Pad (doused in petrol! apply match and walk away!)
But your risking more by limping in the longrun, I really cant imagine why anybody wouldnt be allin, or worse still, limp into the pot. Limping with 5 or 6 BB's is just unthinkable to me, yet I'm seeing it constantly.
Heck, maybe its me thats wrong though
I'm guessing "over time" your way is best?

I've come to realise I've got SOOO much to learn, I try to take in all the advice I'm given/read and then when I'm in a tourney and I get e.g. AQo oop... the mist descends and I think "Bu gga! this could be my exit!" so I l**p just to see the flop. I'm trying, i'm really trying!

I feel a bit better after actually managing to cash in a £5 DYM last night, the first one of those I've played for ages. I figured I didn't necessarily need to rely on my cards holding up to make top 3, I relied on sitting back and watch my opponents knock each other out, which they very kindly did.
I beg to differ gary in tourneys i am running like death last month i think that long seems longer
I come back to this thread just to console myself that i am not the only one getting it in good only to be outdrawn and rivered, I play well until the all in moment and as illustrated continually get outdrawn, but we all know just to keep plugging away and it will turn around (wont it?)
