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!

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 beg to differ gary in tourneys i am running like death last month i think that long seems longer
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?)

Nice to throw them out with other people going through ugly patches though, quite therapeutic!
As per usual needed this to bubble in tonights open but got out drawn

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.

My run-bad is now officially over.
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.
Happy days, I'm back!
also played in the mini bounty at the same time and came 8th just over £200 now that's more like it wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
It's weird how they come along like London buses. Patience ftw. Young Gun and Bandini ....... who's gonna be next?
