true, but a loss is a loss nomatter how much or little the amount.

GREGHOGG

hands 1, 2, 4 and 5 all fine imo

hand 3, i can fold the river, 1 pair is never good here

Please load enough to sit with 4 pounds, it could mean u dont have to go broke in some hands and u have more option to play down the streets

amanda1983

will i ever get some luck in a tourny?

im seeing a pattern here and one that comes up often to losing players posting bad beats. And that is most if not all bar 1 is ALLLLLLLLINNNNNN pre flop. Now if you wanna play this way expect to lose more often to people hitting there is no control what so ever of pots and betting and you think cos you have the best 2 cards pre you shouldnt lose!

I for one avoid all ins pre flop unless i
A. have a decent stack against apponant or
B. Am willing to lose cos its a much bigger gamble with more variable by me doing this.

Rather than just shoving and hoping and posting those beats try and play the game more or ya may just aswel go on the roulette tables and put your money on red or black.

nothing wrong with how you played it persay its just these type of hands happen on a reg basis for most players and arnt that interesting to analize. Its all in pre and just ul and the way poker goes. Not really sure why your posting it. I suppose its just to vent frustration at losing hands we all go through it i could post at least 20 today but im past that now unless its an interesting one.

ps my first post was a bit harsh and wasnt supposed to be x

i know how you feel and its like the system is against you but you just gotta stick with it and it will come good. It could last a very long time and i have had just that. But eventualy it turns and you will win. With Mtts you wont get anywhere near a good run as the varience is so much higher to win one. I do quite well at mtts and is where ive made most of my profit but i could go 20 games without a cash then boom i win one and ive made more than 20 buy ins.

Patience is the thing here and you gotta have a lot of it and not get so frustrated with the losses, if you can master that you will do a lot better and stay positive. I know its easier said than done but dont concentrate on hands like you have posted so much and try and post what hands you have won and see that you can play well and also notice that you also can get lucky.
