when in a tournament and when you have a very decent player on your left (macmonster) and probably a better one on your right (bromley) and they raise every hand and start bullying raise you all in every big blind, what i did was to hold on in their till i got a hand which in this case was aq, which he made me go all in he only had 56.
and i went out with aq vs 56 any suggestions what i can do in future, really annoyed me, suppose just put it down to experience

That's exactly what you should do. Wait till you get a premium hand and if possible try to shove before they do. In that particular case you knew he was being aggressive with any 2 cards so the call was right. But AQ against 65 is still only likely to win 60% of the time.Just terribly unlucky and so frustrating.

well played all, over the past 3 weeks i have been running so well it is untrue but last few nights nothing really going for me although i satted in to the £55 bh for 2.40 which took 2 hours.
AA VS 910 - i lost out so lost over half my stack, but managed to get it back up to 8k when i raised with 10,10 and a flop of a109, and i was forced all which i was happy with but he managed to have runner runner for a straight.
is it just bad luck or should i be looking to play it passively, maybe thats the way it goes from time to time i guess thoughts more than welcome.
saying that in general i couldnt be more pleased with my cashes over the past month not to mention having a great run on the cash tables starting with 120 and withdrawing 1100 after 2 hours, also lost a mega pot though which cost me 490, so i suspose its the way it is.

Well done Haylez you've had some great results lately. It's good to see someone use the thread for advice, take things on board and try to improve their game. Glad to see it's paying off for you.
I also want to say I know I haven't done a great deal of railing lately but there are certain things going on in my personal life at the moment which aren't great but have had to take priority over poker. Hopefully I'll feel more positive soon and I'll put in a bit more time supporting you all.
An encouraging word from the captain. Bad beats are tough to take at times but we all get them. If we had an endless bankroll i'm sure it would be so much easier to accept them, but in reality most of us are casual players with a limited bankroll and that makes badbeats that much harder to accept at times. (Believe me, I've had my moments too
It's also easy to forget the times when we get lucky and when that luck became the turning point in our tournament or even the turning point from a downswing. Upswings can come from just a solitary hand....a split pot that keeps us in a tourney or an impossible river card that we hit. Those hands are oh so easy to forget, but poker is all about luck and trying to minimise the chances of losing our stack & weighing up the risks when we get them all in pre-flop or on the flop, turn & river - it's all about making decisions, playing solid poker and also staying lucky.
In reality and in most instances, we will only ever have a very small edge against our opponents, we rely on our luck but sometimes and all too often it seams to let us down at the most inopportune moments. We have to accept we are going to have some bad luck and make the most out of our good luck, cause you never know what direction the next hand will send us in.
I wish you all the very best "Run Good" & remember to treasure those winning moments when Mr. Imonna Downswing comes knocking on the door to collect his payments
