I was playing a tourney tonight, and the same problem occurred as usual. I was up to 8k chips within 45 minutes, putting me second out of 180. I was playing well, playing good hands hard in position, not bluffing, folding when I should etc. So about an hour later I'm getting frustrated, no decent hands for ages, and I started playing really marginal hands, unsuited connectors etc. I started doing ridiculous bluffs oop, calling raises with junk. I just couldn't concentrate at all.
I donked off half my stack bluffing to a medium stack with AJ on a K high board, he called to the river with TT. I completely tilted and raised 4x a few hands later with AT and called a shove(KK). So I got knocked out around 80th, so frustrating when I had such a huge stack early on. I play both cash and tournaments, I like tournaments, but this seems to be consistently happening, playing great early then donking off my stack due to boredom/idleness.
Any suggestions? Quit tournaments completely? Stick to cash?
Thanks for any input.
