WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEE -
I don't know about all this man...looks like you really let yourself get short stacked way too often. Constantly staking your tournament life on a single hand is really not a good thing in the long run. These are some unlucky scenarios on your part, but you really should be trying to make some moves before you get this short as well...like when you can still afford to raise without being all in every time.
The QQ hand...that just sucks...the donk gets lucky and there's nothing you can do. -
Well in the last 3 out of those four you have 5.5 big blinds or less...so you could be waiting too long to make your moves.
Consider the situation where a player waits all day to get a monster every time before pushing.
He blinds down to 4-6 bbs, pushes with AA...doubles up to 8-12bbs. Great it held up....
So he starts over, blinding down again...gets back to 5 bbs again, pushes with AK...doubles up back to 10bbs. So now he's 2 for 2. So far so good...
Then he waits another 3 orbits and gets KK...of course he pushes allin. Some guy calls with A5. Flop is Axx and our hero hits the rail. Oh nooooo he got bad beated!! But really did he?
Is that really "running bad"? The odds are against hero in that situation to win all three of those hands in a row. Sure the last hand that took him out was a bad beat, but winning three hands in a row as a 70/30 favorite only happens 0.7^3 which is 34% of the time...You're bound to lose eventually.
Just something to consider. Dunno how you got your stacks to that point in any of the above examples, but just posting your bust out hand is no indication of how good you ran in that tourney.
