    maybe it's b/c i play low limit but i'm tired of lots of players complaining about losing with AK vs say A4 and calling it the worst bad beat and i'd thought i'd show them one that i think might qualify. Also i was Curious about how many of you shuffle chips while playing online? Also do any of you suffer headaches playing poker online all day? And lastly Do you feel keeping track of where you rank in a MTT or big SNG is advantagious I mean some time you can fall in love with being in say the top 10 places and shut it down but other times it is good to know where you compare with the avg stack Just curious about how many check it regularly compared to those who rarely look. Thanks

    I think the big difference is with AA you can't fault him for staying in the hand on that flop but with KK on a flop of 9A9 its a much more horrible call that was rewarded but the thought of flopping quads and LOSING sure Stings pretty bad

    Doesn't seem like anyone is really interested in answering your questions so I'll give it a shot. I used to shuffle chips when I played online when I played SNG's, don't do it nemore, why, I'm not sure. Yes staring at the computer screen all day long will give you a headache. Balance your poker playing with other activities. Hit the gym, go swimming outside, just get out of the chair every once in a while. I try to play about 2-4 hours and no more than that in a row. Lastly, when I used to play SNGs with larger fields I would often check where I stood. Then other times I would not want to look at all so as to not change the way I'm playing. Now that I think back on it, knowing where you stand and when to switch gears is pivotal in playing your best, so it is prob. to your advantage to know where you stand in a large field SNG or MTT. Hope that helped a lil.

    id say in a mtt, dont look where your at the first two hrs if u think it will shut you down. but after that, its a must dude. but for the first two hours, you dont technically have to.
