0 for my last 33 now

[wheatrich]

tourns without cashes--this one pretty much went like the rest of them did. I got to play two hands this time though (had KJ on a QT board but everyone kept betting small--so I couldn't fold) I can't play crap or shove with the worst hand because the table had been raising a ton and not folding.

However, if I ever get that streak again I might just stop tourns. I don't understand how the huge buy in guys could handle not cashing 33 straight 10k buyins... (I had a great run prior to this streak but obviously this is killing me)

I just keep losing with the best of it and it's really starting to get on me. I might just stop tourns all together--I'm sure I'm getting way higher EV in the cash games.

Maybe this was the sign I needed to stop playing these things. When I don't run into AA I still lose.

edit--the one I lost before that was chip leader getting moved to my table with some insane stack and calling my big raise and pushing a 568 flop when I had TT--I couldn't call quick enough and he flipped over 79.

Seems like how I always get knocked out of tourns--flopped straights or flopped flushes or they have a draw and hit it--do they ever miss? We'll find out next time... (or not)

Perfect!

Well I shove I only have maybe 1.2k stack if everyone folds. I didn't mind K9 calling obviously--just bad result. I guess I could have raised a bit more but that would have ended in the same result (maybe a shove would have beaten whatever the other guy had though). But I've had way too many flops with QQ/KK come an ace lately so I guess perhaps a bit weak tight on my part.

I'm about 0 for 70. My KK toast against QQ that rivers a Q. MY QQ toast against AA. My AK no good against 44. My 99 no good against K %*^%^%^* 5 offsuit!!!!. And so on . . .

[wheatrich]

Why are you still playing?--I think I've figured out I should quit after 33 lol.

My death hand has been QQ during this stretch--ace whatever will beat me.

KK vs AA either way I lose, AK vs QQ battles I've won zero during this stretch. It's been quite frustrating.

Because one day I am going to win a hand as the PF favorite. One day. . .

Reminds me of how AKs when I have is a 4-1 dog, but is 100% to win when I'm up against it. I tremble in fear when I am unlucky enough to be dealt AKs
