I write this thread, knowing that I will get very aggressive and negative responses, but my frustration has reached its peak.

I've been playing alot of tournaments recently only to find myself missing the money due to bad beats. And today is where I draw the line. I had 40k chips in the miniFTOPs tourney where I picked up KK on the cut off. Based on a read of my opponent in the BB, I decided to min bet preflop. He shoved preflop with Kc Jc. I called. Board 9 9 7 8 10 rainbow. Took me down to 20k chips. With blinds at 500/1000 a few hands later I picked up JJ on the BB. Button raised pre, and I shoved my jacks. He instant called his 22k stack with Jc 10c. Needless to say I was expecting to go broke... Board 7 8 6 4 9 rainbow. With this fantastic beat, I left the tournament in roughly 3400th place of 15000 players, with money being paid to top 2100. 5 hours of my life I'll never get back.

I'm on life tilt at the moment and have written this thread to vent. I'm confidently saying I'm taking a break from demonic piece of horse s*** game and it will definately be a long time before I sit at another poker table.

Good luck to all you gamblers

sux to be you I guess...
You just can expect to win or cash in every tourney. There was days when I have lost about 50 of 60 flips or 60/40 spots. Thats poker. Get used to it or stop playing..

The most hard to understand the nature of variance. It's opposite thing to human being. We all want something real, what we can touch by our hands.

But playing poker means u have to love unstable variance and look strickly for yourself, avoiding from making mistakes in reasoning. And that hard. Really hard.

But who told us that poker is easy money? If u heard that or came to such thought u should get rid of it. Earning money by poker means hard work and everyday battle with hardest opponent - you

its not so much of a gambling game ... not like black jack or roulette .. . Oh and the variance is really shitty at mtt's you should prolly start playing cash games ^^ i dont know FL maybe ? and when you start to play poker you need a strong mind lol believe me ive been in ure place and so much more other players ! !! so forget about ure bad beats (we all had them) and keep playing
