Thanks Swen for dropping by 
I'm not saying it's completely wrong. But I had some experience with investment. From that side, if you make very conservative buy ins, your money actually are not working , how it should be. But that's only my opinion

how does it feel to almost doubling your bankroll? What was the biggest win? Do you move up now?
hihi,so many questions :-)
Hi Sven,
Feeling is very good my biggest win was about 30 $ reached sixth place on final table in 0,55 $ tournament. I was up to 60 $ actually, and moved up my limit to 1-1.10 buy in, warmed up there, but got a little down, now back again to 0.55 $ fighting my way back up and hoping to move over 75 $ where I can add 1,5 $ sngos to my play
It was very painful bad beat, lost KK vs A5o. My stack was about 600k and got KK in big blind, blinds 40k/80k with 10k ante. And player on the button shoved with A5o, his stack was about 500k. Decision was easy, outcome crushing. Flop came 23x turn 4 and I was dying in that moment, couple hands later I was all in with 22 vs 66 and out. It was really sad, cause from top45 to top20 I was tournament shortstack and managed to raise my stack to top6-8 size, but then followed bad beat and I'm out.
Hi! I honestly believe that the outcome of this hand is not a 'bad beat'. Equilab gives KK an equity of 70% vs 30% to A5o. So it is expected that KK lose 3 out of 10 times. And yes, 3 out of 10 times the outcome for the kings is painfull.
And another question: what do you guys think about calling in big blind with KK? I'm trying to think right answer for not calling KK, but can't find any logic answer. Maybe you can share your thoughts in this situation too?
Situation: On this hand Hero is in top 6-8 stack. H's stack is 7.5 bb before posting. 20 players left. So 6 or 7 players per table.
If H sits on 6-table BB his M is 3.3: appr. 20 hands. H could sit out for 20 hands before he is blinded out of this tournement.
If H sits on 7-table his M is now 3.2: appr. 22 hands. H could sit out for 22 hands before he is blinded out of this tournement.
There are 12 to 14 players shorter than Hero.
H is on the BB. So the next five or six hands are cheap. Next time H is BB he still has 5 bb.
He could fold himself to the final table.
So the question is not should H plays pocket kings in this hand but rather: should H plays pocket kings in this situation? Perhaps even what hand could H play in this situation.
It may be that posting this hand in the MTT-hands forum is helpfull.
So, I have a question: how do you managing bad beats? How to get over them? Especially when they are in such important moment. I would be very grateful, if someone could share his/her thoughts.
Perhaps you've noticed I just 'Hero' and 'H' to refer to you. This is usance. It helps to take a step back from the emotions you felt when you played the hand.

Hey Sven,
Sorry that I am late. I was playing a little last week. Only 13 tournaments, and few spin'n'gos, but PS do not allow history of those, so I don't know how much exactly I was playing. I was busy at work last week, so I can call it "a break" from poker. But now I'm back, let's see what new week will do.
