Is there anything more annoying than the 6 hour MTT where you finish just outside the real money at 3 or 4 in the morning?
I don't know how you MTT grinders deal with the constant heartbreak of the near misses. I've had it happen 2 or 3 times in a week and I'm ready to throw my computer in the pool.
I normally play very light volume, but I've been playing alot more recently, as I'm practicing for a few upcoming live poker series I want to play and my wife and kids are away.
I can't tell you enough how much respect I have for what it takes mentally to be an online MTT pro, especially for kids in their teens and early 20s.
Amazing
LOL at thinking it's not as stressfull as any other job, if not more.
GL at the tables

When you make the final 3 tables of a 1000+ field mtt, and cash for like 5-6x your buyin it's one of the worst feelings ever, just because that first place prize of 300x the buyin was so close and you played so long and it was finally a reality. Definitely more emotionally draining than some of the stuff I deal with at work.

Two weeks ago i am 5th out of 10th in the double duece and shove all in w 2.5 million w AK over the top of a standard opening raise of 250k from the chip leader. He turned over kings and I went out in 10th. That was one of the most frustrating poker moments Ive ever had, mostly because I made such a massive mistake for almost no reason other than I had been playing for 8 hours straight and wasn't thinking clearly.

Sounds like a cooler. Doubt im folding AK to a 4 bet anyways 5 handed.

Absolutely hate it, especially when you go out losing a race or being ahead (AK vs. JJ, AQ vs. KJ, etc...). Was just looking at a few of my close calls, and yeah they suck... $11 turbo - 2,223 people, finish 25th for $47.
$26 FTP $14k GTD - 33rd for $53
And the one that killed me: Mini-FTOPS $50 PLO 6 seater - $106k prize fund - 20th for $550 (got it in with AAK5ds vs. QJT8 - flop AK4, turn J, river 3)

this is the story of my life... i'm usually so burnt out from staring at the screen and plasma for 8 hours, and taking bong rips to make me forget the donkey life tilt associated with deep mtt's that i can barely think when the reeeal poker starts.. burns so bad to make a mistake that deep, but in the end it's all experience

It is one of the worst feelings in teh world. That's why playing low volume in big field mtts just doesn't make sense. You have to give yourself as many opportunities as possible to get deep and eventually that big hand will hold up, you'll win that flip and you'll suck out on the final table and go on to crush.
