I feel the need to vent some frustration.

I've played 5 MTT's this weekend.
In all 5 I've gone all in when I thought I was ahead at that point and wanted to deny the pot odds for my opponent to call.
In all 5 I have been ahead but they've called anyway.
In all 5 they've hit one of the few outs they needed to win.

I don't mind getting knocked out when my opponent has a better hand to start with, I don't mind occasionally getting knocked out when I'm ahead but my opponent hits the hand they need - but 5 - in a row! It's somewhat disheartening.

Frustration vented - I feel much better now - please accept my apologies for anybody who's wasted their time reading it.

In my defence I did apologise - so if you had the good sense to read the last line first, you'd have known not to bother reading the rest.  Cheesy

My sympathies are with you Jon as I've had the same this weekend, some truly muppetty calls which I WANT of course but OMG, how many times can you get it in ahead and come out behind in a row!!!

I'm blaming it on the Bank Holiday, and the extra possible alcohol intake (it certainly made me feel I needed a drink!) lol
