Don't be results oriented. Just got out of this crap where nothing held, ran into AA all the time with AK, etc. Just gotta play through it. Most of those looked super standard, and easy to play (standard wise), so don't change a thing. The only thing you can do is fold all of them pre but u'll obv never win a tourney that way. Variance is a bitch and it'll end sometime, hopefully soon.
-
run better
-
And you don't understand variance if you are making this post! :) But yes ^^^^^learn to run better! I have yet to figure it out on a consistent basis.
-
2 outer, 2 outer, 2 outer and 3 outer pre. I dont consider that variance, I consider that borderline stupid
-
DEAD SERIOUS :)
-
so any advice on the hands or just keep plugging away till I run my roll dry!
-
<------Bad Beats.....totally stnd just keep on keepin on...change is destined
-
so normal....
-
volume, volume, and more volume. continue to make +EV plays and it will turn around.

So if I played these 4 tournaments at a card club in the same period of time, the odds are very very slim that this would happen, actually next to never would it happen. Online tournaments really love to induce the "wow" factor into tournaments and sng's. Over the past 2 weeks, I have lost over 1k playing sngs to just some of the most horrific beats and as you can see from above, my MTT play has been solid but yet again, it does not work out my way. If you look at my stats, you will see that I am solid in sngs and learning in mtt's, but again that "wow" factor has to be in play. It really makes a guy want to not play on these sites and head back to the card club to play when garbage like this happens all the time

took a few days off from MTT's and got to come back and enjoy it without lube.......
