And I am NOT getting any good cards. It was early stage of the tourney and I tried to see the flop cheaply with connectors and trash (K7o because I was going to tilt), took some liberty to call for implied pot here and there, but I kept getting raised big so I have to fold and fold and fold. Once I had Ace and on the BU, and I tried to put in 3BB raise to isolate (there were 6 players in pot) and then 1 went all in and another called! So I kept out of the way and then as it turns out, I would have won with the Ace (one has pair that didn't hit, and the other got 82o trash and won the pot)! Somehow I was left with 900 on the BU again w Q4s, and there were 6 players in the pot whom I can't bluff because they would call, and I didn't fold because I was on the BU. Then the flop came Q and 2 low cards, no flush draw poss, and the same fish from earlier open from UTG 3 with a small bet, MP1 called, the other folded. I went all in with TPLK hoping to use my image against the LAG so they would fold and isolate the fish whom I thought has nothing and got busted out. His kicker is 7 and it came on the turn.
I didn't think I did right there - too many players in the pot and anyone of them could be holding a top pair with a kicker higher than 4 - but like I said, I was on tilt.
Please tell me what I should do in future when this situation comes up. Should I be patient and wait for something big to come, or should I try to steal and how should I go about doing this??? The BB is very small and nobody folds to 3BB/4BB. 5BB would be 1/6 of my stack and I can't continue if I don't hit on flop.
