Now, this is a subject that is common to everybody.
The hard reality when you sit there with your quads only to realize the pot get's to the other guy who managed to get the 2 only cards that would save him from certain bust in the hand. Or the guy who called you with nothing but a backdoor flush draw to your made straight and actually gets the flush busting you.
Or you decide to push with AKs on sb and the bb calls with AA?
I've endured many of theese situations during my poker career, and I guess you have aswell.
However I find it fascinating in over a how long course you can keep loosing even tough the math states you are ahead?
I feel disturbed about the fact that yesterday I was playing the MM 002 event on stars, and I was running pretty well. However I bust 5 hands from the bubble with A8. I was on SB, decided to shove with an M of 3 and the BB called with K4 and the flop served me with an 8 and him with a 4, so I was ahead 70% pre and 80% post.
However the turn decided to go rouge on me and tossed up another 4. I didn't get another 8 sadly and I busted 5 hands from the bubble.
The hands before that was equal, except one when I lost half my stack in a flip to the same guy who now called me with K4.
And now to my first question: You can't be skilled alone to bink in a tourney, right?
There's just so many factors that math wont cover that will get you even if you are doing everything by the book.
And my second: You will get sucked out more then you will suck out others right? Since you wont be putting yourself in them bad situations where you have to rely on a single card.
I don't know if theese questions go here but I kind of need some enlightenment to remain focused.
(currently playing MM event 10, 693/9949 with an M of 20, wish me luck)
Cheers
