lol, it's not a direct quote, that's entirely my own work! probably in quite a few poker books and posts around this forum in some form or another, though. It's a bit of a TK-ism, I must admit. Posted by DeucesLive
Oh that's different! In that case I'm gonna dismiss it! LOL! Only joking! It sounds VERY good advice! I've come to realise I've got SOOO much to learn, I try to take in all the advice I'm given/read and then when I'm in a tourney and I get e.g. AQo oop... the mist descends and I think "Bu gga! this could be my exit!" so I l**p just to see the flop. I'm trying, i'm really trying!
Oh, and Gary- here's another one. Got myself a deep run in mini primo, decent stack, GREAT spot to double through and have a winning stack. Could just see my hand getting counterfeited as soon as the cards turned, though. So frustrating.

*edit* here, add another one to the list! One of these days I'll get my chips in miles ahead and it'll hold up. Getting a tad ridic, hope my luck turns before I burn my BR too low.
Awful stuff Dueces, I've decided to amend the thread title. Like me me I expect you're at the point where you're totally resigned to what's coming on the river every time you're ahead in an all-in situation.
I feel a bit better after actually managing to cash in a £5 DYM last night, the first one of those I've played for ages. I figured I didn't necessarily need to rely on my cards holding up to make top 3, I relied on sitting back and watch my opponents knock each other out, which they very kindly did.
I come back to this thread just to console myself that i am not the only one getting it in good only to be outdrawn and rivered, I play well until the all in moment and as illustrated continually get outdrawn, but we all know just to keep plugging away and it will turn around (wont it?)

yea, consoling yourself with others misfortune is always great. ^^
It's like that classic thing with school exams- you utterly fail at an exam, and you feel really bad- until everyone else comes out saying they failed too. Then you feel like a success.
Despite the fact that whatever they did, you still failed. We're a funny race.

The thing about this sort of thinking is that when you do lose you have convinced yourself that is was always gonna happen regardless as to how you played it. I think there are a possible 169 starting hands in holdem and when holding AQ and a short stack you only really have to be worried about 4 of them. When you are a short stack people's calling hands increase as shown in deuceslives examples QJ eg which is perfect and what you really want people to be calling you with. If you limp then the 63's 10 5's and such hands can have serious potential. But just to keep you worried il post a worst come to the worst example lol
Here, have some more to keep yourself feeling good. Just doesn't end. Had a few where I've run into monsters with legit hands as well- feels just as bad (I'm looking at you and your kings, Shanx!!!)

most of them aren't that extreme- the ones that bother me at the moment are the inordinate amount of times I get JJ/QQ vs AK, and I'm losing it from both sides at the moment. Really, really bad.
Nice to throw them out with other people going through ugly patches though, quite therapeutic!
This hand is from Jokerstars, we are fairly deep in a rebuy, 472 players remain from over 2000 starters, average stack is around 22K. A few hands before this I'd made a big (and probably correct) lay-down with AA and 6789 on the board.
Hand cliff notes; I get it all-in on the turn with a set and 91% equity for a 50K pot, the villain rivers one of his four outs to make a straight and knock me out.

sick ul gary im sure it will change i had minor change last night wen took down £2.20 deepie lets hope its turned now :P keep getting in good and it should turn... Posted by YOUNG_GUN
Yep, that one was pretty awful, I added it to show that my spell of run-bad isn't just confined to Sky. My luck has to turn sooner or later. Once my cards start to hold a fair share of the time in the crucial spots I'm sure I'll soon be back to winning ways.

sorry!
fwiw iv had sum monsta run bad this month, hope it changes in June
This afternoon I entered 2 tournaments. On Sky I played in a Bounty Hunter, it only had a small field, 20 runners, but I managed to take it down. That made me very happy being first tournament win for at least a month. On another site I played in a $3 rebuy with 355 runners (I took 1 re-buy and 1 add-on). After over 5 hours of play I've just shipped the tournament and the $856 first prize, it was my second biggest ever online win.
