Arghhhhhhh!! Ok so i've played 3 mtt's today all of which i played on stars...
1.16.50$ 30k gtd - played kinda tight ( i like cashing in first tourny of the day ) doubled up a few times and min cashed, bleh.
2.11$ deep stack 10k...i pick up AA in the sb, btn raises to 3x (600/1.2) i reraise to just under 7x. BB folds, btn snap calls. I'm obviously a little worried by his snap but he had been playing lots of pots and calling lots of 3 bets pre. flop comes Td 6x 3x - he bet like 2.6k into the pot....i tank and then jam my remaining 12k in, he snap calls and turns over Kd 2d....sweeeeet right??..wrong..... diamond diamond fall on the turn riv...sick.
Not quite so bad..but still kinda awful..i think anyways..
3.8$ 12k gtd turbo
blinds 300/600 - i have around 14k at this point, a huge stack joins the table...nice!
I pick up KK mid+1, folded to me, i pop to just under 4x, folds to big stack villain in the sb he tanks then flat calls.BB folds.
Flop 8h Kh 4s - Not ideal but far from bloody bad for my hand..vill raises to 3/4 pot....i tank then jam...he snap calls and shows As 4h....yep, you got it, heart heart.
Im losing the will to live right now. Last night i played on 888 for the first time and have managed to bang my roll for the 8 dollars up to 53 through a variety of the 88c buyin 40mans with 10$+ for first and a little bit of plo cash Played 9 40 mans, placed in 8 and won 3, hu 5 times. So its not as if i play bad...or i think i dont..oh i dont know what to think right now > (((((
**** to make things worse i have posted this in the BRM part not the poker specific part of the forum...smooth. Sorry Admin

Unfortunately you can't beat stupid!! And there is no way for you to avoid morons playing like an idiot and always looking for the suckout. Thats just the way it is..

There must be a way lol! Had pretty lock-ish hands against them both...still got pwned. ( thanks for the lol ) Nah i joke i joke, feeling a little better now after playing a short but sweet plo session :]]]]]
ps...dont want this to just sound like another bad bead story.. just amazed that people who play in 11 and 8 dollar tournies ( and higher stakes than that aswell obviously ), get pretty deep, and then play like that. I mean, do they go on to cash deep?! do they luckbox there way to victory?! ***

In Poker there is a phenomenon called Bad beat caused by variance. It just all in the game. Sometimes we profit and frequently we lose because of the variance in Poker.

it is hard to win against bad players, both in ring and tourneys. its not fun to lose such pots but it is life, there will always be nuts on the tables. i know how it feels to lose but in the long run the nut players will lose.
