View Full Version : Why can't I [censored] win satalites anymore!?

I just bubbled out of ANOTHER turbo satalite to the sunday million when I lose ANOTHER coinflip (i.e KT<52 AT< KJ).

One month ago I had a 130% ROI over 100 tournaments. Since, then I have gone 2 cashes in 63 tournaments....How is that [censored] possible!? I have a -80% ROI this month (30% overall). Lost 3k dollars, 10 dollars at a time.

I understand variance and MTT swings but my god, it's impossible for me to win now. Every single tournament is the same [censored]. Double buy in. Double up twice to have aprox ammount of chips needed to get into money. Pushbot to keep up with blinds. Near the bubble Push AJ or AT and get called by KQ KJ or low PP and lose. Flop TP? Straight comes through on the river every time. Heads up and winning with 7:1 in chips? Doesn't matter, only 1 seat paid and you're losing the next 4 coinflips or he's waking up with aces when you push AJ.

[censored] hell how many more do I have to lose before I admit that there is SOME reason that I can't win anymore and cash out my pittance of a roll?

EDIT: My favorite hand: I am BB with basically enough to fold into the money. One limper I check with 78. Rainbow flop with 5 6 9. I check, he pushes (He covers me). I honestly consider folded because of my luck but finally call. He shows A9 and spikes runner-runner back-door flush.

don't play the turbo ones? those satellites make me lose. The regular ones are easier. I've won like 3 out of the 6-7 one table FPP satellites for the sunday million that I've played, and got 2nd place like twice /images/graemlins/mad.gif

the turbos are silly at the end. i was just in one where 21 got seats, we're down to 22 and out of the 6 blinds on 3 tables, 5 were all in for less than the 10k/20k blinds. i knew that was going to be the case on the previous hand (when we had 23) so i mucked utg+1. instead of becoming utg on the next hand where 5 people would've been all in, i became the bb because the button didn't freeze after the sb was eliminated. the should've been sb gets the button when he was even shorter than me and walks into a seat while i get dealt 53o in the bb. i tell ya that's bull [censored].

I know that This was kinda silly but I actually thought he would probably fold, crazy i know, but I figured someone who wasn't shoving in was just stealing, poor guy. btw I am now 3 out of 4 in these 2700fpp sattelites, and this is the only one I got chips by doing this.
