Today when i started 2 play Daily Dolar a fell from 5000 starting chips to 500 and some, next thing i know i got back in the game with lucky 7 several time and had the same amount of starting chips maybe a bit more before first break. I raise myself to 25 000 >(and some change) then get KK hand and raise about pot somewhere near 4000 chips and of course Ace had to b in the flop and i already had to guys follow so that went down the drain. But hey i stil play, the bubble has burst, im in money and im gona give my best to show up at Final T if luck finds me again.

Sounds like a lot of ups and downs. That is perfect description of playing poker. I wish you only the best for the rest of the tournament. Final table would be great, but win would be even better. I hope I read it correctly and you are still in the tournament, actually. You can share your next feelings and final result with us here.
nah i fall out - i followed 3 x bet with 9Q suited against some ukranian i had 9 and in the flop so i raised about pot, knew this guy has AK or AQ and i raised till the and but as donks fill their chips on nothing he miraculesly hit K at river. Hate when idiots push chips on nothing and then they get lucky at the river.
------------ flop was 7 9 J then 8 i even had a chance for hiting straight and idiot pushed his AK like a mothefucker and hits K at river. Funny thing i knew he hadnt flop or turn none of his card and he still gets lucky.
------------ And the main conclusion goes " F**k huntch and instink when bullys get lucky "
Wrong assumption, any suited card is good specialy if flop brings another 2 of them or even done deal. Thing is if i raised the pot and that means ad another 15000 chips in i was sure in my hand and red him already. Would u fold? if someone make that big raise and u dont hit nothing nor the flop nor the turn. Think u mistaking but wtf i dont give a damn. Stay cool

This afternoon in the daily BRM freeroll on party Poker. I was very low in chips and was card dead for a long time when i got A 6o in early position i decided to shoved and got one caller.
We open he show A A but i got lucky and it a flush to win the hand.

From discuss at this forum long time ago, what I remember we often talk : depend on Do you play or not ( suited /connector/gap connector ) depend on situation. Sometimes you play, sometimes is not - right ?

Why not just fold such a marginal hand against a pre flop raise? Very hard to know where you stand after the flop; you won't hit enough favorable flops to make it worth your while. You really don't know he has AK or AQ. If you use tracking software, you should check your win rate on these type of suited hands. You may be winning small pots but losing big pots with them.
ok here goes, my winning rates lol i might post it every time but it doesnt go under 70%, yesterday when i played for 10 $ ring game i had 10 of 11 showdowns won, little bit more without showdown guess how manny ? 91% efficiency , when i saw i have enough chips to get the tic i stoped playing even having 4 times in row Ace with big connectors ( AQ, AJ, A9, A6 ) folded each and every. Why to stress if i already got it ? and u might give others a chance - some would push but not me.
Might b a shock to you but i do care about my statistic when i play and is a reflection of my game and style - must b tight/ aggressive sometimes loose but rare, all depends - and yes my dear friend i known what he has cause i do take a closer look how my opponents play how much they raise similar hands. Some players when they lose with big hand again bet big on let say 72 just because they feal frustrated 4 not hittin nothing. Some Russians like it 2 - they just gona go with any hand re raise to try to scare the opponents off and since i noticed that in some i canot b scared of game plus i do tag the players with any colour to know their style.
And lol heard about tracking software but never checked it or used it.
But at the end > s**t happens and u canot always count its gona go ur way >there i wrote i even fold KK hand when i saw Ace in flop - means i do think clearly and straight - i might of pushed like that guy i lost from and where would that leave me? - donk play - sorry not that style.

So! Playing the wrong hand at the right time is usually how you succeed at poker. However, getting it right is the hardest thing. Suited any things can have some value, but not much value, Q9 h isn't that far behind but really you have to give some consideration to odds, both express and implied before deciding in such situations to merely call. Raising may be a more powerful move and not reliant on a profitable flop.
with lucky 7 several time and had the same amount of starting chips maybe a bit more before first break. I raise myself to 25 000 >(and some change) then get KK hand and raise about pot somewhere near 4000 chips and of course Ace had to b in the flop and i already had to guys follow so that went down the drain. But hey i stil play, the bubble has burst, im in money 
and im gona give my best to show up at Final T if luck finds me again.
Of course
plus i do tag the players with any colour to know their style.
