Calm down sir you must understand how online poker work... 1st they want rake... a lot of rake and when you win a hand or a Sng you must espect the next hand or the next sng you'll play you'll lose it... why? because of variation... go with AA all in vs 22 you win... next hand with AA vs any two you will lose...

It happens a lot. Maybe you should change something on your strategy. You said you were chip leading, do you keep your game with the same aggressiveness during all the event? Perhaps you should think about changing that… or, on the other side, if you get well stacked and start relaxing too soon, things can change quickly.

Maybe a change of strategy is in order. not going all-in so often would reduce your losses. Think about it, suck-outs happen all the time, for you and/or your opponents. Controlling your ''aggressiveness'' and not shoving all your chips and therefore tournament life in one coin-flip can only improve your results overall... Sometimes you cannot go around it i know, specially if you are holding a big pair and someone else went all-in already. those cases aside, you can only blame yourself coz if you see it from an outside perspective like i am now... seems to me that you play exactly the same way as the guy that had just beaten you.

safest wayt is to auto fold good pair preflop spcially if have decent stack lol dunno about y guys but its reallly hard to fold em after flop welll lets say u have AA u raiase 3x BB opponent callls with 72 AS THEY USUALLLY DO flop comes 227? soooo u should fold when they raise ? and think he is idiot enough to call your raise with 72 right i myself try to suck out very often speciallly when im deeep at tourney and some higher stack raises since if they deep enough chances are they gonnna reraise after flop no mattter what comes or what they have

You think thats unlucky.. THe other night in the Big £55 on PS I was in the chip lead. Loose player raises so I call my BB with Q 10. Flop comes Q and two rags. He C-bets which I expected. He checks the turn I check behind. THe river comes another Q. He shoves. I am sure he's bluffing or got maybe AA or KK so I call. He's got AQ and I am down to bottom stack.
I manage to get a double up and a couple of blinds then get KK. If I get another double I am back in the game with a top prize of $24k at stake. The player on the button raises so I shove the lot in. He turns over 10 10. Flop J J 9. Turn is a 8.. River 7.. and out I got in 12th place.
3 spots away from a guaranteed $2k and lose with KK to 10 10 and a runner runner straight.

if you play poker you assume that you can loose money .First of all you need to make some psicho. practice before playing poker. what happend to you is nothing. play 5 k sng s and after that you will drop the line

you can't avoid bad beats and it's hard especialy for begginers. i'm struglie a lot to win some money from poker but i'm not strong psichicaly to face the game and think too much about winning instead of focus on playing poker.
after a few good hands always comes an bad beat. and there un need to stay chill and avoid tilting

im sitting today for hours on cash tables on PS, trying to get "super lucky" to get into a milestone hand but no luck so far
experienced some Aces cracked by weaker hand numerous times, palyed already about played already 847 hands but micro stakes, still its not that bad as i thought it to be if i keep the profit i have for today i could move to higher stakes in weeks, maybe a month or two lol its going quite slow there, and every bleed of "chips" cost alot

from me for the part that people only remember how they loose , and not how they win.
Right !! cause loose is hurt so much. Win just glad for few minutes But the case give us teach. When in bad luck/ got bad beat we have to carefully even hold best hand. Play save untill time of bad luck pass away. How do you think ? control emotion problem here.
