If that is the only way you are losing, unfortunately you cant do anything about it. There will be always worst hands beating the premium ones. And some times it happens to be when you are reaching the money Just dont force your way in at that point.
thanks guys ,but siting down it turnaments for many hours playing and waiting good hands some times i dont play any hand in 1 hour and then some player with worst hand gets always lucky and kick me out or criple me now im thinking that maybe need to thake of poker

Looks like your playing far to tight, if you don't play a hand for over an hour. Try to spot opportunities to win small pots without a showdown. Even if you go all in with a 70 to 30 or even 80 to 20 advantage, the 30 or 20 procent will hit here and there, and when it happens you are out.

It is always very frustrating whenever you play in one of these tournaments and you keep busting out just before the money. I think you should remember, you must have played well to get that far in the first place and just carry on what you were doing previously

to become a much better poker player you have to read some materials about online poker strategy and watch movies on the internet how do professional players move. Do not get the impression that you could win money from poker only with AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ. A good poker player develops his strategies in time after watching many good things and keeping them in the head. Poker Holdem is not as easy as you think is very complicated.

I played recently in one tournament and played pretty well ...... considering that I was late for an hour to the beginning, I was going around in the first third of the players ..... and that's when there were only a few hands left and there were prizes I answered Olin with an ace and 5 against two sixes .... in the end, zero

yeah I guess shokaku gives a very good advice here- if you have trouble with going out because of a loss in an all-in situation, obviously avoiding all-in situations will result in a change of playing style and you will not go out in one hand, maybe this ill work out for you. good luck.

andy777ak, you may feel like you are never going to get out of losing streaks, but you eventually and inevitably will. Believe in yourself. Be positive. Don't let bad beats get you down. Good luck with your game.

Andy. Take a look at your game. How do you play? Are you playing to the strength or weakness of your cards or are you considering the many other facets of the game Kim Poker, including position, stack size, table image, stage of the game, the size of the blinds comparative to your stack, just for a few. Try to think of your cars last! Review how you play, look at how others play and read some too!

Well, what do you do here is poker. Well, if seriously you constantly need to study and I think that the best science is practice. Try to look at the game of other players, such as broadcasting poker players. Now there are good players who broadcast their poker game. I wish you winnings and that the game brought you pleasure

Yes you sometimes kose because you olay same style and do it even if you lise,like many people in this forum say to yuu that you need to try and change some things, maybe play not cor all in but try to win small pots with smaller risk. I like you also lose most times in poker so I am not good person to listen
Posted by shokaku: Try to get the chips in with A7 obviously.
today I acted exactly as you advised ... there was a situation when a person did rebuys and always went olinn and eventually I certainly had better cards than he had but there was also a third player who won everything with a jack in his hand ... .. very sad but it seems to me an isolated case ... I hope

It´s verry bad to loose with a verry good hand as bubble boy or near the itm places, but only one good run in big tourney bring you back all your losses! After a break and with new motivation you can try the next tourney and you will see, you win next time- gl

If you are getting sucked out on so often in a multi-table tournament, you might want to consider trying something different (ex. a single-table tournament, NL cash game, PLO cash game, etc.). Always put yourself in your opponent's shoes. And don't forget to review your play afterward. andy777ak, what stakes do you play at, if you don't mind my asking?

I usually try to compensate for my losses playing in the sitngo .... sometimes it turns out that there is a compensation, but sometimes you can leave even in the bigger minus ..... especially when the tilt comes and the rates go up and rise and end up with a bad mood and an empty purse go to sleep
