I need to vent a little bit here...
Okey, so I try to play the Nordic 50 Seat Frenzy at party poker for a ticket for the 50 Seat Frenzy (which I already have, I'm after the T$) and the same thing keeps happening to me. I've counted that in the last 9 times I've played that tournament, I've finished in the top 50, only 10 get a ticket. The thing that bothers me most is that none of these times I've finished in the top 10. I ALWAYS get sucked out by some stupid donk play no mather what I do.
This last time, I finished 33 I think. I was sitting at 13th I think and got dealt QQ. This very aggressive loose player shoves about 2/3 of my stack. I figured it would be an easy win to secure a place in the top 10. He flips over Q9 off suit. I figured that I was a huge favourite. The flop comes 6Q7, turn is a 5, river is an 8. The moron hit a straight! The very next hand I get dealt AK suited. I shove all-in since I didn't have much to work with, I get called by the same guy with 66. I flopped a flush, turn pairs the board and the river is a facking 6!!
And this crap keeps happening to me in these tournaments. I wouldn't say anything if I finished in say 150th or something like that but when I NINE TIMES IN A ROW(!!!!!) finishes top 50 without cashing because of facking suckouts all the time, I don't know, it kinda gets to me and to be honest, I'm starting to get really pissed at that crap!
I just needed to vent a little bit so I don't go on a big tilt because of this.

I know one thing in poker,happens to me very often,if one guy kick's you and you loose your half stack to him,he will kill you soon and take your all stack...
How many times have this situation happend to me.. or to everybody playing poker for a while. So sorry for you bro but you got to keep fighting on Those kind of tourney with a low buy-in generally mean a lot of situation like this cause the average of donk playing his so high. Sad that it<s happening so close of the prizepool with a monsterhand like QQ. Hope you marked down this player.

Hello erru9107,
I completely understand you. Today I lost 4 times at four freerolls. First time I had AJ, the other guy had 28 and went All In, so I had High card A and he had full house 88822. Unbulievable! And I was out. I am talking about EPTlive. It was the very first hand of the tournament and I was out.
The second tournament today which I played, the first hand which I had was AA, the other guy had 2 10 and entered All In, I called. So finally he had three of kind 10 and I had a pair of A. I was out at the very first hand of the Online Poker Show with AA.
The third time today when I was out today ( Full Tilt ) I had KK and I finished for today with the frerolls.
Too much, for one day. I am happy that it were freerolls and I didn't lose money.
So, good luck with the poker, but this is happening to all of us. I think that the players who play poker like a bingo are almost always lucky. I don't understand it.

That is VERY frustrating when that sort of thing keeps on happening... and especially when some idiot donk seems to have your number RIGHT at the wrong time...!
Been there,...done that! What can you do...?
Sometimes I think I'm glad I'm not sitting in a saloon in Oklahome circa 1833 packin' a six shooter...

Since you already got the ticket and you have finished so many times in the top 50 its just a matter of time for you to enter the tickets again. Just dont think about it and go for the next one. Such players and plays will always exist. You just need to be a little more lucky not to have them in your way.

Seriously, what the FACK is happening!? Now it's the 11th time IN A ROW that I finish top 50 but without a price!!
This time, I was sitting in 12th with 17 players left. I was dealt AA and guy in 9th goes all-in preflop. I called of course and he flips over AQ off suit. Flop is just crap, turn is Q and facking river is another Q and I'm out in 17th.
I mean come on, what the hell is going on!? ELEVEN FACKING TIMES IN A ROW!! And no price!! I mean, what's the odds of that happening? Obviously I have a bit of an edge on the average player in that tourney since I always end up in the top 50. But how long is it going to take until I finally get a break and finish in the top 10 for the price?

Something similar happend to me some time ago on party poker and another reasons that i do not want to elaborate now were the reasons for which i did not play there anymore...
The beauty of online poker is that you have tons of poker platforms at your disposal to play

Posted by demodawggy: Would that be all in a row with the SAME chick,....or different chicks...?
...and do you rinse your doo-hickey off between each round....?
A few years ago I would have said different chicks but for the last 3 years it's only been my girlfriend.
And also I just on another $15 T$ from that tournament! This means I just finished in the top 10 TWICE IN A ROW!! This means that there actually is SOME justice in the world and good poker eventually prevails!!

Alight, that's what I'm talking about! Another cash in this tourney and 15 more T$ to my account If things keep going this way I'll soon have a really nice bankroll to start playing some more serious games with
