Sometimes I Just Hate Poker!

Sometimes I just hate poker. I played three $10 heads up sit n go’s today and I ran into the goofiest players. All three played terrible and I lost to all three.

The first game I had AA on the second hand of the tourney, I raised 150 chips pre flop, he put me all in, I called. He had 68 off suit, needless to say my AA didn’t hold up, he hit a four card flush!

Second game the guy is a big pre flop raiser. So with lousy cards the first ten hands or so, I have too play careful and fold, I finally get pocket QQ’s so when he raises pre flop, I put him all in, he calls with 10 6 suited, he makes a straight and I lose again.

Third game the first hand I have A J suited I bet 120 chips pre flop, he calls, flop comes J 3 A, he bets 300 chips and I put him all in. He calls, the cards flip over and he is holding J 7 off suit, the turn comes 7 the river comes 7, I mean come on, how bad can my luck get?

if you don't like variance, maybe you should choose another form of poker than heads-up SNGs ?

Big differance between SnGs and MTTs--But it sounds to me like you'ld be more suited for cash ring games Ever try 'em? I generally do much better at Ring games myself than SnGs!

This things like you had 3 times last night, I had that over a 100 times.
I also hate that this happens.
I think rooms need to give more credit to best hands after the money is in the pot.
But there are so many (turn)/river rats online. You just have to deal with it.
I now your feeling, it's horrible.
Poker is a great game, but I'm more and more gonna hate it this way.
