    Been running/playing horribly lately.

    Getting to the point where I can't even tell if I am misplaying or just getting unlucky anymore.

    Please help explain to me if/how I am misplaying these 2 hands.

    Keep in mind - I don't mind busting early in these 180 man tournies - but getting in drawing to 2 outs is -ev

    Hand 1 his min raise on your raise is telling you he has a monster.
    Hand 2. When he pushes hes telling you hes got a strong overpair in my opinon but that one is harder to get away from.

    lucky bacon is full of shit......these are just bad beats. These are not the reasons why you're losing. Show us some other losing hands.
