Today my suckouts..
all in on flop QQ vs Q9o (flop Q, 10, 8 rainbow) hits J on river preflop 99 vs 63o - hits straight preflop AA vs J10o - hits JJ on flop all in on turn with two pairs 45 vs 66 - hits 6 on river
I can make same thread every day, its killing me I should stop play freerols cause I am not losing against "better" players I always get knocked out against fishes and donks who got lucky

today has been especially bad for me too.In fact they've been so many i'm starting to think that it's not just the donk players thats getting me.I dont know how you get around it and it's not just freerolls.Even at low stakes people seem to shove with anthing and manage to draw some long shot srt or flush.It's starting to really annoy me.
dont shove is the best move.....it has been said that your best play is when you dont play the hand.i am freeroll player and made some cash in freerolls...its not easy to win in freerolls...you have to be lucky to win this kind of tournaments....

worst suckout for me today was A-Ks diamonds against villian who shoved with 7-2 ofsuit and i only had to call...i lost...don't need to say more + was at bubble with 68 players left and 3270 chips in hand in the nederpoker satelite to ev 004 at pokerstars...blinds 150/300..then my brother came along and said ..
hey,,let me play some...and he managed to bust me out even when i told him to not call anybody,, unless he'd hold absolute monsterhands and told him i'd rather see him shove himself then call to someone elses action,he told me to not worry and enjoy my meal since he had cooked today in our house...
5 minutes later he is in utg2 and make a call for 400chips next 3 players fold...button or cutoff shoves all-inn and my brother decides it 's wise to call...
That last action is far worse then the 7-2 i lost against...so i was pretty angry missing out on that free ticket...fpr micromillions ev 004.
Never let an amateur play with your money...unless it's a relative and it would hurt their feelings if you had to refuse him/her to play..
So i'd rather hurt myself then my relatives....
well,afterwords i told him what i thought of his play and reminded telling him to not call all-inns with weak hands..against huge stacks where you mostly are heavily dominated..and play for your tournament live..
quited poker for the rest of the day...too upset...not because i missed out on a 5,5$ ticket but more because this was classic example of throwing money into the garbage.. and my own brother doesn't have a clue about no limit holdem or how to play it... extualy during my meal he busted all tables i was playing at. So for the rest of the evening i watched champions league football (Bayern-Arsenal) and about an hour ago i come to BRM to write some of my chest ...so i should still sleep well ,as i usualy do..
see you folks tommorow...good grinding for those who still playing..

No thats not everything buddy, believe me It was just from one day, I played like 6 tournaments and from 4 of them I got knocked out like this in next 2-3 it was classic coinflip as I remember I know I am not that guy "with worst badluck ever" but I am definitively not lucky too as you can see But I am not complaining.. its hard only few second after badbeat then I let it go

Just remember loosing with the best starting hands is a part of poker. and when you play freerolls there are a lot of bingo queens so you will loose several hands that you were in the lead preflop...
if you have pocket 2 s vs AKs yo have a coinflip so just 50 % chance to win (the chance to win with pocket 2 s is actually higher)
