PS - Seems i won a £5 token myself in the low stakes leaderboard despite only playing two nights. If possible can i cash that please @Tikay10 for tomorrow nights 6:30PM BH?
Erm, well. I've just had a huge string of river bad beats to bust three if my four games in about twenty minutes.
I flop top two with KQs and lose to runner runner two pair v A7o (not sure why called flop). I then turn nut straight and lose to rivered better straight. I flop top two and lose to river flush. I make second nut flush (with a pair on flop) on river and lose to nut flush.
I get 1010 all in on flop against A7 top pr 7 and it goes runner runner straight on board for chip lead pot!
Finally - after many attempts the river worked for me for my first bounty when i was in BB and flopped pr n FD and button jammed flop with top 2.
Got called by J8 - he makes quads obviously.
Got 8th in the £2 - ran 66 into an agg players 77 on the button v my bb. *shrug*
Getting battered a bit lately but staying strong.
The end of Its a Flip and congrats to:
@goldnballz for guessing the wins (43) actual 20 @Toffeeandy for guessing the losses (31) actual 20
Could @Tikay10 sort the guys out with the £5 tokens when possible.
Tomorrow starts Aces or Bust and so far i think only three entries. I will extend the deadline to July 2nd midnight and not divulge any information on that front until then.
Get your entries in folks!
Hi @Tikay10 , don't think I've used this yet, as you were in Vegas when it was won; could I be entered into tonight's mini please? Many thanks, Toff

Not in the mood tonight for a big recap - i played four MTTs and ran just horrible in important pots. Just so so bad. Had a very big stack for a long time in the rebuy then lost to three 3 outers in a row then a cooler against the guy who kept outdrawing me to bust. Didnt pick a single bounty up dispite being ashead on numerous occasions or flipping.
I just cant catch a break at all - to run so bad is soul destroying. Im trying to keep positive but its so hard and i have mental issues as it is.
Add to that i feel like im talking to myself.
Two brutal hands within space of 5 minutes to end my night to go with the others ive suffered. All i can hope is that i will get the turn around soon..
Villian had been calling super light all game and amassing a stack by suck outs and it continued here...
First and foremost Craig, you're not speaking to yourself. Many of us forum regulars read your updates, and I certainly enjoy them and provide feedback where I can/see fit.
Regarding your frustration, I think you're focusing too much on the short-term, which I myself have been guilty of in the past. Sometimes you'll go through spells where the cards aren't going in your favour and suffer a run of beats. It's important to remember that MTTs are high variance - I was speaking to a good micro-stakes reg a while back about £5.50 games on Sky, and they mentioned that they were on 40-tounament streak without cashing at those stakes, which just shows just how poorly people can run sometimes. How many times have you won that 6:30pm BH this year? 3 or 4 right? That's a 200+ field most nights so you've got to run well to win that on multiple occasions within a relatively short period of time, even if you have an edge on a good number of the players.
Just focus on making the correct decisions and plays, that's all you can do. And keep your head up mate - you've had a lot of great results this year already and I'm sure more will follow.

^^^^ What she said.
Another reader, but dont comment as much as I probably should. Keep your head up, but take a break if the frustrations start to take over.
Echo what Roberta (@Asho28) & maximilian (@MAXALLY) say, you can play as well as you can but if the cards aren't with you then you aren't gonna win. I've had a right time of it lately too but even I managed a rare win in the half 5 5.50 b/h tonight; just keep doing the right things and it will turn for you.

Absolutely not. Hang in there Craig, it will turn soon enough. It's a tough game sometimes.
