Two 5th place finishes today have left me rather disappointed... both won me ~$50, but both had ~$150 for 1st...
The first one there was a powercut when it got to 6 handed with me the chipleader... finally got back on to lose 2 hands running with TT then QQ both vs AK with aces on the river....
Then the second one, get a flop of A6T holding A6, get all in and called by KT.... Turn 6, River T.
Still a good day... but could have been so much better...

Unless you are first there is always could have been better but sometime like what happen to you today have to be take on the bright side you made ITM on both.
It won't be the last time that you gon have to say it.
However i am sure you gone have your share of first place so don't be frustrate when you do not but are ITM.

Two great cashes and congrats to you again. You seemed to get very unlucky on those last hands you played. To lose with a full house is very rare indeed and i would be kicking the cat!! Well done again to you

Hi vsemoje... I'm currently playing all freerolls available, all the $0.01 step 1 games, the $0.10 step 2 games with the tickets I win from step 1, all none rebuy tournaments $3 and under and all rebuy tournaments $1 and under. I'm playing normal speed, turbo and hyper turbo. After a good couple of weeks, I've raised my none rebuy max buyin to $5.
Obviously the freerolls and the steps have very fishy fields... but for the other games there's not a huge difference in the standard.- all the fields are fishy. I would say the normal speed games are easier, as you just have to remain patient whilst others around you don't. Players on 888 seem to be very timid on and around the bubble in the most part... so certainly need to take advantage of that. I'd also say that any game with a gimmick.... so team games, knockout, think fast etc etc... seem to do weird things to players mindsets, so they are particularly easy too.

Like pinotte said unless you are first you always want more or better. The prizes you got for your finishing positions were good enough, even for one days payout in total. Winning every day like this, is a dream for many Better luck on your next games.

Yout85. Congratulations on your successes, even though you are disappointed with outcomes. Keep playing well and don't get tilted by losing with stuff like full houses. Keep focussed and keep selecting your spots to play and maximise advantage wherever you can. Looking forward to seeing how it all develops for you.

buddy , I can not earn a cent and you 're freaking out right because you have earned $ 50 , I would have been all too happy to earn that kind of money to jump for joy , not to start with poker playing several tournaments and wait for the right moment is simply no good hands only losing

Make $50 profit why you said frustrating ? how many MTT you played ? How many MTT do you play everyday (average )? Do you still play at PS ? I play 4 - 6 MTT micro at PS but hard to make profit . Do you have suggestion for me ? I can't play at 888. Good luck

If you are used winning more than that in daily basis, then it can be frustrating. But i wouldnt mind getting frustrated like this every day Im far from it though, since i dont have what it takes, for such results.

Ah no i have weaknesses. Im not good for example in bluffing and i lack a very important thing for the game, which is patience. I dont have it, that is why the longer a tournament lasts the worst it gets for me, getting bored playing whatever just to finish the game. Free time for playing a tournament is also limited. Too many interruptions while at home
. Do you have suggestion for me ? I can't play at
