I swear I don't think I've been this pissed before, I should be looking on the brightside, I won more money then I've put in...Right! Then why am I pissed, well it's simple. Today I bought into liike 4 of those 2.20s, I ended up cashing in acouple, but I actually won 1 which is 108. I should be grateful that I won, and ended up making way more money then I had put in, correct? But I seriously can't be happy I'm actually disappointed, because I bought into another 2.20 tourney but this one was a 4 player shootout, with first place beiing 360 or so, I ended up winning my first table, and choking horridly on my 2nd table, heads up. The reason I'm so pissed is cuz I was 4-1 chip leader, and the guy I was playing against was beyond aggressive, even though I was chip leader, and he dwinneled me back down and eventually ended up taking me out. So why I am I so damn pissed....It's simple I just like to win on a regular basises (Or atleast become a winning player). Not one of those players, That say play in 10 tournies and win 1. Yes you do make more money, in the long run, but it's just so disappointing to come so close, and fail, not because of your cards, no, because for W/E reason I just seriously froze up, I could not out play this guy, I would raise he would SHIP-IT-IN, no matter what the flop. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

wrong, just shove over the top of thier raises or call them with a top 30% hand and you will be way ahead of their range. Otherwise you will be ground down. I have done that to passive players lots of times, the won't adjust so I just keep up the pressure. When they finally play back I just fold, easy peasy. Sounds like you need some work on your HU play.

I seriously do lack heads up play, I mean I know if i'm ahead preflop, but the problem begins when the flat my raise, and then the come out banging. That's when I get all:confused: :eek: , more or less scured out of my wits
