Guys first of all thanks for all the advice.
I must say I made the post yesterday when I was feeling very emotional after having a hand cracked and feel a bit embarassed for posting this!
I agree a lot about what's being said- I've always tried analyising my game- even if at showdown I've gone into the hand a big fave- I will always try and see if there was a way of playing the hand better even if I get outdrawn.
I also feel that I don't discuss specific hands enough with my mates- there's a group of 6 of us and we don't talk about HH's enough- so will start doing this in future.
I'm sure the tide will turn soon- TY once again everyone!!!
PS: Shogun- I lost with 10, 10 vs AK (shoved against Kevin Shutt when he re raised my button raise from the small blind- I thought he could lay down a wide range of hands because he was fighting for the seat in the Bahamas)
I then called a button's all in bet with AJ he had 98 and won. But I admit I was on an absolute heater in that tourney!

Wish you all the best, we all go through bad runs and the toughest part is admitting to yourself that you may have played badly. For instance my game always goes down the pan every time I get a big win, its as if I forget how to play alltogeather and think that KJ is a good calling hand.

just keep getting your chips in ahead mate thats all you can do. good bankroll management is also a key factor in dealing with variance.

Nothing wrong in cash games but for tourny play you need to be able to play very aggressively and that means your pushes from the button with 93 will at times get called...... |

You could probably say that if you don't suck out once in a while then you probably suck.

For sure, someone who never gets in behind will be a pretty big loser. |
