Okey, I just started an MTT session, I'm gonna play most of the $0,50 and some of the $1 games but only one MTT at a time to be completely focused on that one. Wish me luck guys!
First game: $350 Daily Dollar - BI: $1,00
------------ On break. Currently sitting in 37/144, 85 places paid. We'll see how it goes, I've got a good reads on most players at my table!

Oh for facks sake!! I hate the facking final table bubble!!! Finnished in 10th but the final table hadn't started yet. I hade just over 2BB, get dealt AK suited, no question, I'm all-in. I get called by a complete donk, he shows Q7, he hits a 7 and I'm out without seeing the final table. FACKING SH!T A55 GAME!!!!!
10/102 for $0,84. And now my girlfriend is really mad at me for playing so concentrated that I don't pay a lot of attention to her so I have to call it quits... A total profit of $1,04. Profit but still, it really bugs me how I got knocked out on both of those tourneys...

Well the problem is when you re close to the bubble or final table and you re smallstack the bigstacks will call you with anything , especially when you re left withless than 4 bb...
So you better play less tight (use your position) and go allin when you have less than 12 bb
then the bigstacks are more likely to fold with crap hands...
So I personnally prefer to go allin with pocket 55 (in middle or late position) when I have 10 bb than when I have 2 bb left...
WHen I get called by 2 overcards it s a flip coin, with an overpair I am way behind ... but when they fold you get the blinds and can wait for other chances

Well, thing was that I did have like 20+ blinds then lost with QQ to QJ on an all-in pre-flop so I went down't to just over 2BB. I then get dealt AK suited the very next hand, then that happened. So basically I was just unlucky with two hands in a row. The thing that bugs me is just that the guy with Q7 had about 3,5BB only and in early middle position. If he had shoved his stack I wouldn't have said anything, but the fact that he limped in leaving him with less then 2BB only tells me that he didn't have a clue what so ever to what he was doing.
And the person who keeps giving my posts a can just stop it cause it's just a stupid thing to do. People have vented a lot worse then I did before and they didn't receive one so why should I?

Haha i love your first post and your post afterwards, it goes from happy face to sad face and to angry face. But hope you get a positive outlook on MTTs as they have much variance, you can go on 1000 games or more without winning, so volume is the key here. And you will have to make most of your deep runs and play a lot.
Cheers uped your post as I do not think that down voting somebody post is useful. Positive thing to do is to vote up!!
Anyway good luck, hope you get better luck in the next session. Cheers!

You are in for a very long poker session if you are going to be successful. The level of concentration needed for these tournaments is huge. But i wish you all the luck in your quest and it will be nice to hear on you get on
