Hi,
like mentioned in some other post I have won my way up in a WSOPC Tournament. This opportunity I will probably not get again with my 250$ bankroll.
I was playing a quiet good tournament with about 3000 people. 250$ buy-in. Had some problems at the beginning to get a feeling for the pressure but started fighting for my blinds and increased my aggression.
I ended up being 30th of about 500 left. Then I lost nearly half of my stack with a K high flush against A high flush. That guy covered me, so I was lucky too keep the pot small. Then I lost an preflop all-in with AKs against AQo to loose another third of my stack.
Finally I got busted by a blind stealer who was a littler bigger than me who could not fold 67o on my defend all-in with AJs. I had about 19BB at this point. Ace came up in the flop and river card was his gud-shot. Thats it.. Out 40 before the money.
I know the tourneys have high variance and usually I can smile when I get kicked out again of a tournament after i see 94% against 6%. Basicly when I see 94% I already see it coming. =) I take it when I am playing a 2 or 5$ Tournaments.
But the bad luck in such important situations really makes me frustrated.
I have the feeling of beeing very unlucky in important situations. So many times I do the right move like calling a very aggressiv player, have the better hand and then get kicked out cause he right away gets his second pair. AK against AQ.. AK against pockets. Poxkets against overcards. Basicly the coinflips are not on my side. At least not in the number it should be accordin the equity.
Like u can clearly notice from my words.. I lost the cool head.
That was the start of a really bad downswing.
I lost half of my bankroll and had to go down a level. Even my cash game curve which was going up for about 8000 hands.. Completly lost it in 4000 hands without even notice that tilting was effecting my game.
I loose the faith that its possible to win a tournament one day. Even by playing the 100-150 buy-ins I have. Also playing perfect will not bring succsess like this.
Does someone have an idea how to get out of that?
Do i need to increase numbers to get a payout some day? Or should I better slow down, read books and start new after some weeks.. I actualy dont think that I am such a bad player. Also not getting really angry.. But as I see, frustration is enough to destroy my game.
Greetings,
Sebastian
