Official March [censored] thread

[nath]

I can't win at anything I play. The downswing these last two weeks is horrible. I want to kill myself.

[dfbuzzbeater]

I'm working for a quarter instead of school, so at night I only play SNG's, but I'm trying to build a roll for the WSOP ME sat push i'm gonna make spring quarter.

In the last two weeks I've played three fulltilt tourneys. Cashed in them all, FT'd two of them.

On stars, I am down $400 playing this GODDAMN MUTHERUCKING WSOP SAT TOURNEYS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOFT AS HELL. in the last two days i've made the FT four times (usually the top 5-6 get seats to the satellite) and i have won zero of them. KK<AA, QQ<AA, TT<QQ and 55<44. lee jones, you are starting to piss me off kind sir. please, pleeeeeeeease make sure my doomswitch is OFF.

One of my goals with poker is to be well rounded. I feel like I am pretty good at cash, but want to suck less at tournaments. I play anywhere from 400nl to 1knl, but most of my grinding has been at 600nl. My rolls like 45k mostly from cash but a few tournament scores. I have won/final tabled a few 20-180/10rna and some 10 /$20/$50 FO’s.

One of problems is I don’t have the patience and I often find myself making ridiculous moves. I occasionally play the nightly hundred ground and always play the Sunday million (both 215 and 530) and feel uncomfortable every time I play. I am willing to sacrifice a lower hourly wage playing cash to feel more comfortable with my tournament game.

So my question; Anyone here with success in larger buy in MTT’s who has coached before be willing to help me out with tournaments? If so could you post your rates/history/etc. here or PM me. There is only like two 3-bet.net MTT coaches and there is not even much information on them. Should I become a member at like pxf or start watching (mtt) card runner videos. Start reading mtt forum here? Is there a better option for me then getting a coach? I just figured a coach could help me improve faster. Thanks ahead of time for any responses.
