The poker cliche "Study, review HH, Etc, and it will eventually show profit" I am trying to hold on to this belief but I am struggling with it even after taking time off. You always hear about the ones that have won a big tourney but there has to be alot of people like me also.
I am trying to hold on to the theory that poker is more skill then luck but here is my dilemma. I am not a terrible poker player by any means neither am I am master or even close at all but I have played an extremely large amount of tourneys over the last 2 years and I have yet to bink a big one for some real money. I have binked a few small ones but nothing to brag about. So you would think that even if I was the worst poker player in the world after so many tourneys I would have at least taken 1 big one down and this has not happen. I always seem to fall short. In my opinion luck plays a huge part in tournament poker and I just dont seem to have the good kind.
It is really wearing on me because I put alot of time into it and I am still waiting for the results to follow and trying not to be results oriented. I wish I could afford to have a coach that could go over my HH and see where my leaks are or if there are spots i am missing that i should be taking.
I also think that in the tourney world alot of the guys we see that are having success are part of a backing stable because there is no way that someone could financially make it always bank rolling themselves, pretty sure they would go broke. I dont think we actually see how many tourneys alot of these guys are actually playing in a day, week, month, or years time. Or they are just incredibily lucky.
I will continue to grind for now but I cant lie the frustration is building.
Good Luck all
