Wee- back to MTT's this weekend. Managed to cash in both of my re-buys last night but unfortunately both were min cashes. I had plenty of chips in both but lost with big hands to go out.

Gonna win something big by the end of the month though!

you can also figure that anyone who raises 20x is not going to fold to a shove imo. Either way nh :D

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...seriously, this is why I never win any of these games. WTF am I doing wrong? Seriously, what cant things just go in my favor just once? Why can't I win these [important] flips and big hands everytime when I need to to ensure my way to the FT/win? **** you stars/FTP for giving me a win to boost confidence and then screwing me over in the end.

Sigh...how does a someone like Cheesem4ker put in <400 MTTs on Stars and manages a win and I have probably close to 2K and still nothing? Am I really that ****ing bad at this game? I understand variance and know that shit happens, but this is ridiculous. I honestly do not know what to do anymore...I am honestly getting upset of the number of FT brags and wins that other members post in the BBV. Im happy for them and I hate them at the same time. (Im an asshole, i know.)

/**** my confidence is this game. I have seriously got to be the worst player on this site with the worst stats and the worst results. WTF do I know?

/never-ending rant.

Same AA vs QQ guy. I know I had set the trap...****ing standard result.

Meh, I'm over it now.

I think the best thing to do is just give up entirely. I've got like $6 bucks in my FTP account and $10 in my PS, so I'll just play MTTs until I lose it all.

Who knows, maybe i'll win one. BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Whatever. I'll probably try my best, but i have a feeling that those efforts wont be worth it.

After that, I'll just remove all poker programs and be done with things. I've thrown away at least $3K+ playing online poker. Not a lot by any means, but I'm mostly played $1-$3 MTTs. I've had a number of cash finishes, but nothing solid and not enough to put me in the black or too keep me going. I cant imagine how many hours I've wasted trying to accomplish this impossible task of mine. And in the end, I have nothing to show for it.

Winners never quit and quitters never win. I don't want to be that idiot that never wins and never quits.

3, almost 4 years of playing and having nothing to show for it is far too long. In fact, I'll probably make more money in the long run by quitting now than I would if I continued.

...I'll probably stick around on CC though, for whatever reason.

philthy i totally feel your pain on these MTTs bro. seriously every single one i entered this past week i got ****ed over on....i know variance as all of us most likely do ITT...but seriously...its just a never ending cycle...i keep entering more and more tournies yet never have shit to show for them.

i just dont get it TBH..cash games are fun for me too as i like to grind...but dam i love the thrill of MTTs knowing if you run super god good you can get a cash that you could never dream of in cash games..ive had a couple tournie wins...all last year..but dam..i would just like to FT a big one on stars.

im actually thinking of totally giving up poker in general as well...just such a total buzzkill..i've only been playing for 2 years...probably down about 300-400 overall..i dunno..

Yeah, im done. I'm just not feeling it anymore.

Just played in a $4 rush SNG, took commanding lead early on and I didnt even get excited about it. Of course, I busted out but that was my own doing with 3 bet shoving light for the LOLz.

Im giving up online poker. I had many hopes and dreams when i first started playing and I have to face the fact that I'll never be anyone in this game, nor will I ever accomplish anything.

Im also wondering if it's even worth me posting on here anymore. I have nothing to offer this community.

Know how you feel. Spent the last couple of days seeing villains catch two-outers and three-outers in a steady stream. Played a bunch of my (atm) favorites: the big sunday satties and didnt get a single ticket this weekend. I wont mention how badly ive fared in the normal MTT's, but it aint pretty. Think i'm higher definately higher than you on the suck list!

I am buckling up and i am at it again this morning though. Considering all the final tables i played yesterday, it must be possible...

And to parafrase PattyR:

Looks like I'm back. Took 3rd in a .55 $500 GTD MTT. Given the finish/prize for the buy-in, this is my best run so far. Screen shot below.

The KO, hand. I don't think I could've played it any better. Just got unlucky. I'm 100% sure I would've won if my hand held up.

I've had a hell of a great week myself in the MTT's.

I've played 5 tourneys, all between $0 (CC Freeroll) and $2. I have won two (one satty into the 22Kdouble deuce) and cashed in another for $5 profit. Total of $335 profit on the week. I am finally out of the red for these past 6 months!
Playing in the $2 rebuy on Ft again tonight, as this seems to be my bread and butter tourney as of late.

I see this is becoming King Curtis's bragging thread, lol.

Anyways...

Played 3 tourneys tonight. All $2 bi.

Nothing to show for the first $2 MTT.
Ft'd the $2 1r-1a for $36, making a $30 profit! (if I'd have won, it would have been twice this week, but alas it was not to be)
Cashed in the third $2 MTT for a whole $1.51 profit.

Measly in comparison to the pro posting above me, but I'll take it :)
