[Morbo]

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 100 hands and saw flop:
- 1 out of 79 times in other positions (1%)

And I don't consider myself a tight player. I have raised preflop once, with AQ, got two callers and a reraise from the sb. Saving my hands for later, I guess.

I hate never flopping sets in general, but I especially hate finally hitting sets on the turn after I already folded the flop. BAH!

[Ghazban]

I just lost my first showdown of the tourney; it's all downhill from here

Raising the river would have just been silly, right?

Pots won at showdown - 2 of 7 (28%)

See, this is just a sign that I'm really, really terrible at what I do.

[nath]

Well I attempt to tilt my way out of the tournament but double up anyway.
push over a minraiser i know is weak with Q8, and someone behind wakes up with JJ. I flop a queen and river trips.

yay sets; 2nd in chips

nath --

from my limited observation of the MTT forum this year, i think you run better than 90% of this. complaining about those coin flips that are 20% of your stack like you are doomed at poker gets annoying.

not trying to be a dick, but i think you have selective memory problems.

Pretty much out. Thought I was safe to draw to my flush on this board.
