Re: LC: going deep and not getting paid the big dollars
shark...bubbling in a big tourny sucks but it is a necessary part of poker education and sometime it is unavoidable...if you are getting deep often it is only a matter of time to get over the hump...lately I have switched gears and am getting knocked out more frequent but also winning more as I have forced myself to maintain aggression..when it works the payday is huge but it can be frustrating...reload and do it again!!!

Re: LC: going deep and not getting paid the big dollars
Bubbling doesnt really bother me since i usually go crazy stealing blinds when it gets close to bubble but when you start out in a 1500 person tournament and 3 hours later you are chip leader with 100 left. Then in 3 big hands youre out in 60th for example its so frustrating since you only get like 3 buy ins, but you can smell the 200+ buyins waitign at the final table.

Re: LC: going deep and not getting paid the big dollars
Every night I swear off tourneys because of these types of situations. Every day, I find myself playing another tourney, hoping for that big score. I think I am addicted.
Unless you entered another tourney or cash game and started playing bad, you didn't go on tilt.

[/ QUOTE ] I may have mis-interpreted your post. If you were trying to push marginal hands and lost your stack, that is one thing. If you really had good hands and just ran into better ones or lost coin-flips, etc., that is another. I don't seem to have much success bullying with a big stack (like I've read you should), so I try not to get involved without a good hand. I think you have to be good at reading the table to be a bully, otherwise you end up giving away chips. Apparently, I am not very good yet at reading a table, as much as I've played, so I know I need to improve in that area before I can start wielding my stack like a club (as some here are able to do).

I usually push marginal hands very hard close to bubble and go back to waitng for big hands after that. I've seen nl O8b on FTP but havent tried it, it does sound nuts.

Did you take some action(s) that you perceive as "monkey tilt"? If this is just a philosophical question, then yes, anything is possible.
