What upset you the most when playing a tournament?

[BBr3]

Either getting disconnected OR getting knocked out post flop with an amazing hand vs a non-hand and a two-card 0-2% two card out.

 

[freestocks]

When I play bad.

 

[TargetLion]

Sincerely I feel dissapointed after making my repeated mistakes or when I couldnt control me during the play.

 

[HAMC81]

I hated when players have bad connection and they dont sit out they just stall while "disconnected". Really frustrating.

 

[shomy21]

c. of course, can be worse...when you play 4 hours and than you finished like bubble boy.

 

[rusty98]

Which of the followings upset you the most when playing a tournament?:-

a.Getting knocked out first hand AA vs KK.

b.Finished on 9th place instead of the coveted 1st place.

c.Unfortunate enough to become the 'Bubble Boy' after hours of playing.

d.Being dealt crappy hole card until the very last hand ie 27,49,38 etc.


What is your answer?

finishing on 9th place instead of 1st to 3rd place. because Its difficult to reach to the final table .You can do it once in a while .Once I have reached I would love to make the most of the situation .Finishing on 9th is very disappointing in that situation.

 

[Robsaboat]

For me what upsets me is when I am short stacked and decide to push AI I get called by random hands that always seem to hit.

Losing AA does upset me too. I have made a few final tables and I seem to play to agtessive and get knocked out in 9th.

 

[Turn7]

Being just in front and entering the bubble!!! I always think of which hand I should play or don't! I rather fold kind of good hands...

What is your answer?

e. None of the above.
That is all just part of poker. You can not do anything about a bad run of cards. You have to love bad players even in a bad beat, because in the long run you will get them.

What is the worst are players of without any class at the table.

 

[Propane Goat]

Multiple players taking max time on every hand in turbos/hypers. I had quit playing at Bovada because of this even before their failed software "upgrade."

 

[lcid86]

long stretches with bad cards as players with bad cards keep sucking out..

 

[MattRyder]

Simply not playing my best on every hand. Tournaments require a lot of patience and every hand is important. One mistake can lead to a wasted 2, 3, or more hours of your time. Usually I bust out because I refuse to listen to my experience. My over-pair, top pair, two pair or whatever, looks really good on the surface, but just isn't going to hold up against someone who is betting strong every card post. 9 times out of 10 the other guy has the goods, but I get blinded and refuse to see reality.

Most players are kind enough to let you know when they have you beat. Listening is the most important skill that many of us seem to choose not to use.

B.
I really disappointed when my game look well but I am out for example on 9th but I know that I could won that tournament.

 

[robertocoelho]

I get more upset when I'm playing safe and fall before the prize for bad beat.

 

[Olgert1992]

You can select multiple options)) It's a shame when the cooler case. When you have KK and AA opponent. But this is poker. Just a shame to take off at the ball. For me it's the worst thing, because you have played most of the tournament and left with nothing.

 

[SONJAY]

realising I'm the fish too late. jk

c. bubbling.

 

[vita087]

take bad with hand prize and fall of the tournament.

 

[Giancarlomen]

for me letter C. Very Upset

 

[maloxu82]

D is sometimes frustrating because when I get hand like K10 I'm thinking - is it a best hand that I'll get today ?? And I'm starting making mistakes ( 3betting people with marginal hands).

I also got frustrated when I have AA or KK and I'm taking only small pots. I'm raising preflop - 2 other guys are calling.
After that I'm cbetting and everyone is snap folding.

 

[orsino12]

From that list I'd have to go with D.
It is very frustrating to spend time and then making the money with an average stack and you are a couple of hands from being poised to go deep then run into a long run of garbage. On one occasion I went over 20 consecutive hands without a card higher than 9.
I'd also have to add being dealt a monster after making the final table and having to call a shove from someone trying to steal the blinds and going out when 1st place is in sight (happened today, went out in 5th in the $1 goldfish with KK vs A-2 and he gets an A on the river. If my hand holds I'm chip leader instead of out).

 

[ekgbeat]

Which of the followings upset you the most when playing a tournament?:-

a.Getting knocked out first hand AA vs KK.
Too deep to ever bust AA vs KK. Also see answer e.

b.Finished on 9th place instead of the coveted 1st place.
As long as 9th pays; keep grinding. If not, then see answer e.

c.Unfortunate enough to become the 'Bubble Boy' after hours of playing.
Hopefully understanding ICM will prevent this

d.Being dealt crappy hole card until the very last hand ie 27,49,38 etc.
See answer e.

What is your answer?

e. Variance is too large to logically get upset with tournament play.
