Something that is happening to me almost every MTT game I play is that I manage to get in a very nice and comfortable position, like top ten in a 500 players tournament, but then I just lose some hands by defending some raises when I'am on small or big blind position, generally bad beats, and I start to lose it, I mean, start to tilt after a while.
Some guys says that it's better sometimes to take a break and even leave the game for a while if the blinds are low and your stack won't be bleeding that much by losing them, but I just can't do it, basically because there will be times that I'll have monster hands and it would be really kind of dumb to let a hand like AA just go away because you are sitting out.
Anyway, I'm really depressed because it happens all the time. I was in such a good place at one of those weekly chromestars freeroll on Pokerstars and lost it all by calling an all-in with AA vs. 88. If i hadn't played that hand I would win a considerable amount of money, it always hit me like a rock when that happens.
one lesson is stop protecting blinds with crap cards. I get people tell you to protect blinds but I guarantee I win often and do not care whatsoever on my blinds its a non issue with me. is no advice on bad beats except this
along with patience is perseverance ability to forget all the negatives get back on the horse and ride again.
I sincerely dont care on my blinds I care on position a ton. I care on quality starters. If lose every blind in an event I still wouldnt care
