Sometimes you just have bad beats. Keep your morale high, keep improving and things will start going your way. Be confident and you will succeed.
And since you say you never hold, if the flop is good for you, maybe that confidence is to blame and you play too passive. Turn the aggression up a notch when you have a good flop. Good luck out there!

Most likely it's just the sample size.
In a field of 5000 players for example, you need to be incredibly lucky (even if you're the best player) to win. Even just making the final 50 is a 1-in-100 longshot for the average player requiring a ton of run-good.
Study, keep on playing, and the deep runs will come

Friend, I'm a player, I've been studying and playing for a long time ... I'm not a professional because of bad QQ and the card to go all pre flop may have AA KK or Ak I go all I don't want to know I'm aggressive ....

There comes a time when you don't learn anything anymore ... cards are not like a board that you foresee a future move ... that 20% of the luck factor ends up with 1% of players who really know how to play and dedicated themselves years when I say years i'm talking about 6 years playing everyday

I know what you mean, long years ago I had plenty FT on 2k+ reg tourneys, nowadays, it looks different, even I don't think, I play much differently, but I recognized there are certain players, whose count on the RNG, more than on poker, so they make incredible preflop allin calls. Also there are more players whose ready for rebuy 1,2 times, and they take more risk in the first few hours, just built a higher stack - that works anyway for me, too. As if I am the chipleader on my table later on, I can afford to lose few allins with preflop 80-20% for me. (What anyway happens on all tourneys, I remember maybe 3-4 when I could reach top 3, and didn't lose 80-20 at least once.)
Partly, because of these things, I prefer to play the smaller fields 400-1K regs, less 'variance' and the prizes on FT still enough big for me.
And do not mention the 3-6 outs, for a long while now, it seems to me, they are coming more often on river than they should. I had for few months long the 1-3 out 'series' beating me, mostly on river in the last year. Nowadays, since a month+ the 3-6 outs and the backdoor flush, straight are the popular. 80+% I relegate like that, pretty annoying, but what can i do? nothing.... I made a good call, or could pull in the opponent with much worse hands, preflop or flop and the turn, more likely the river beats me, it is simply out of control. Annoying especially, if it is ongoing for months, these situation 80-20 for me based on math, but it looks like 50-50 or 40-60.... and it never will be 95-5 to me, at least i've never seen that....

Tournament poker is the most romantic poker discipline. The poker strategy of a tournament game is fundamentally different from a cash game. The main difference from cash is that in a tournament you constantly have to "survive" due to increasing blinds. Unfortunately, there are no tactics in tournament play that are guaranteed to bring you profit.

It's best to acquire a sizeable stack so that you're able to endure those types of hits and keep on fighting.

Ha! I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes it feels like the software is against you. For example, you could be having an A-high full house, only to be outrun by a river quad... Too frustrating at times. When you're obviously leading the hand from pre-flop until the turn, and then some fish with 72o gets their payout because of pure luck.

I liked the analysis, poker doesn't always help anyone who needs to win a $ 50 tournament! I'm trying to get out of the low tournaments but the variance wants me to just wait AA then we don't have to go with QQ either :joyman:

In a game of chess many pieces have to be sacrificed in the case of poker are the times you will lose

What do you disagree about? What's wrong? it seems to me everything is correct.
