Sounds exactly like me. I go into many many freerolls at FullTiltPoker for the Aussie ticket. get to the final two tables or even the final and find my chip stack gets targeted by someone obviously better than me (not that hard to do) and drops the curtain on me. I think its because I don't study the flop well enought to avoid traps. I just started the online poker in August 07 and it is addictive.
Thanks for your post Sonic X Preducer : I have one good book by Sklansky and have ordered another by Miller(?name). I have pretty much backed off most freerolls and now play at Absolute Poker with money. I've got alittle ahead playing small tourneys and sng games -- to make my life interesting I have had a week now of the raggiest cards I've seen online poker. I mean an endless pocket of 2's - 6's. If I get an A or K the other card is 2, 3, etc. I'm getting the feeling the poker gods have it in for me. I may develope a facial tick from these crummy cards. If I go in with a pair of, say 3's, I get beat by a pair of 4's. I hope others have had this experience where nothing works for you. I need some reinforcement that better cards will be coming - what a revolting developement.
I wish I knew where I'm going wrong. I really enjoy tournament play and because my funds are limited freerolls are where I play. Actually that's beside the point because my problem exists pretty much the same no matter whether I'm buying in or not. The thing is, is that regardless of the amount of registered players in a tournament I usually make into the final ten to twenty percentile. And it's not because I'm just sitting back waiting for others to be eliminated. I mean I'm a rookie and all but I'd like to think that I'm giving it my all whenever I'm at the table. I'm also usually in pretty good shape chip wise. The thing is that while I understand to have a sporting shot at beating the bubble your stack has to continually grow, when I'm getting close to that point I'm blowing it. It's really starting to get frustrating especially considering the amount of time and effort it takes to get to the level I'm getting blown out at. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.
