Well lets say you play a 1$ 90 player SnG. Lets say that you build up your stack by making good plays, but you fall when stacks and blinds go bigger. That happens to me about 4/5ths of the time. I dont know whats te problem. Like when i put my money in as 4 to 1 favorite then I usually win most of the time, but eventually i lose.
...Yes, you are going to lose every now and then. Its all part of the game, unless you have the absolute, solid, 100% nuts there will always be a chance of your hand being beat. It doesnt matter if you're a 99.5% favorite to win. Don't look at/think of poker as individual hands won or lost because thats not how the game is. 4 hands won and 1 hand lost doesn't make you a winning player, just as 4 hands lost and 1 hand won doesn't make you a losing player. Think of it in terms of long run success, if you're making the right decisions then you will come out on top.
Now, are you saying you are losing when blinds go up because you're just losing pots and hands? Or are you still playing like the blinds are low and you don't make the proper adjustments to the raising blinds? There are many things to take into consideration when you're playing deep stacks with low blinds and playing high blinds. Proper adjustments are to be made in order to have a better chance at surviving.
For example: When blinds are low and you have a big stack, you don't have to play many hands. You can wait and wait and wait for a big hand and not worry too much about getting eaten by blinds. Also, hands like A/small kicker or K/small kicker have very little value, but small PP and suited connectors in multi-way pots have a lot of value. But when blinds are big compared to your stack, there are changes. You can no longer wait for big hands because blinds will eat you up. Hands like A/x and K/x go up in value while small PP and suited connectors go down in value. So, its all about adjusting and knowing when to adjust.
And the lose is usually before bubble. I cant stand, when people play bad. Like today it happend(just one hand in thousands). i get KdQd raise before me, i call. Flop XdKhXd. So it gives me second best flushdraw and top pair. My opponent bets, i raise half of his stack and he calls. Turn is blank, he bets big again, i call. Now river is a diamond, i have made my flush. He goes all in, I call and he shows Ad9d. Thats usual. Can i avoid these kind of moments?
...Well, did you ever consider he was chasing a flush and had you beat at the end? Can you avoid these moments, yes you can, but I'm not sure if this is one of them seeing as you were a ~70% favorite on the turn. I would've shoved in on the turn instead of just calling, but thats just me. Hands like these will happen, its just part of the game.
Similar is when big stack puts himself all in with TT and i call with AA, then usually its big stack that wins.
...That happens. Nothing you can do about it. You got it in as nearly and 80% favorite and you got unlucky.
I usually win flips in early stages, but lose them in late stages. Help a noob here pls. Ye i know peaple say that its 1$ tourney, but i still hate it.
...Why flip during the early stages?
i think the problem is when the blinds increase like that the luck factor increases b/c ur usu alln and ur tourny life depends on a single hand, if u take a bad beat or lose a big race ur done. ihate it too gl bro
