Story Of My Life

[nodepositneeded]

After a few days in a row with some decent tournament wins I thought my luck had finally changed.

However, after hands like these, I have fallen back into my usual routine. I've gone deep in 4-6 tournaments today alone only to run into these hands and it's killing me!

Hand#19755E0CC6002896 - Tournament Table 3 T6163654 -- Table 3 -- $120/$600/$1,200 NL Hold'em -- 2009/09/01 - 00:30:22

I don't fault the play or anything and the beat in itself isn't that bad. But I ALWAYS get beat in these situations LATE in the game. I feel as though if I win these hands - I win the tournaments. Instead, I waste hours playing flawless poker only to run into these beats!

Anyhow, I am in the money in this game and I am nearing the money in the other 10k on the Cake Network.

So if anyone wants to rail - feel free! I'm nearly out of the bounty now due to the above hand, but I'll still try to take both tournaments down!

[QUOTE=nodepositneeded;69028]I apologize for how boring that must have been. That was the longest 5-way match I've seen on a final table in a long time.

I have only myself to blame for not taking advantage of how passive the players were (besides Dabears). I assumed that I had more time and could pick my spots a little better since we had a table full of passive players (myself included sadly}


Well wasn't there but theres a big difference between passive and card dead, I played a lil while yesterday had, 3 pp,AQ,suited,AJ os, and that was it.I used to raise with 36 on the button,I couldn't do it in the BAP, anyways I got no hands, tried to steal a couple "didn't work" so if ur card dead not alot you can do,even against a passive table.The wrong move and ur out.You will recover I am positive.

I curious, when did NDN start winning games and stop losing huge pots with 2 tables to go, thereby getting screwed and busting just out of the big money??

If so - please advise on how to stop this happening. Something to do with folding 1010?

on a real note that really was a long final5. i think u played like 5 hands in 1 hour. dabears was aggressive as hell and even when u he doubled up that one guy he always was abl to get back to were he was before the double up. well either way it was a nice chunk of change. i think me and terp were the good luck charms last night. like i said ndn u are my P.I.M.P.
