I feel liek they have it out for me when i get deep into a tourney and in high chip position. i should literally fold every hand late it feels like, not my style but hey the gods will do with me as they please i guess.
This run is just stupid trip Kings constantly beating out my hands.
I'm getting super frustrated with really not making money and playing this well. I don't really get why i can't get over the edge. ALways feels like i get to a certain point and then weird and whacky s**t always drags me back to reality. maybe only poker isn't for me after all and i'll stick to the live game which i can control much more it feels like.
My rant for the day hope everyone is having a positive experience and not feeling like they've been punched in the gut over and over.

Second hand, out with river king Momentarily you got lucky after the all in, in flop, hitting your ace on turn, but... Dont get frustrated. if you do change a platform for w while, play at partypoker,same format games.

It is always very frustrating when this happens. You were so far in front at the turn, it was nearly impossible for him to win but he diid. Whenever these things happen, you feel like the whole world is against you!!

A lot of tournament players tend to miniraise instead of shove when they have a 20-ish-bb stack these days. I don't understand why the Player 6 (8-bb stack) flat called preflop. S/he thought s/he was getting reasonable pot odds or something? It was either shove or fold, wasn't it?

Thats gives a lot of frustration, to loose a verry good preflp hand in this 2nd place position against a donk hand. Sometimes it was so crazy what some guys are playing semi-good hands. But after a day you can start a new try- this happened again and again.

What is so sick about this hand? You got the chips in with a draw and one overcard. Not bad, but the hand of the opponent had better chances to win. Sick would be getting the chips in on the turn, and then got the suck out.

This type of hands happens very often on the river. I say this because the river in pokerstars is the worst possible card for most poker players. I hate the river in this poker room because sincerely did not bring any benefit to me. I played poker only in 5 poker rooms with real money. Pokerstars is the only one with - profit because river... is criminal.

Yes so bad luck to you the irish, I think sometimes when i play too poker gods are laughing on me, they do create all scenarios i can only create in movie and it happen in real. Very bad to have such situations when money is near. But this os poker, it happen to many people and to yiu as well.

I have been there too,so many times,and most times its with qq,kk,aa just getting busted out with those enough times,you wonder,why you bother with the time,and effort.
Then there are those times when you least expected it happens..........BAM you r right back in it with a good score. A break from playing online also helps many times...any way,you r very skilled an sickly talented for the game,so don't stop,just maybe a break for a day or more.
But hey your TheIrish,you can win anywhere any time,you r that DAM GOOD mang!
