Can't win

busto or robusto baby, but you know, id like to catch a motherfucking break.

Donkaments have high variance. This shit happens alot. Best get used to it. Man up and keep grinding

Also id like to lose sometimes while behind, not only when im ridiculously ahead.

same thing was happening to me in cashgames, why i started playing donkaments.

time for your NL1k shot imo

Just keep positive and loose the "i can't" attitude. Don't fret over your bad beats, just get on with it and forget about it.

easier said then done sir

I know I know, just keep focused on playing your very best, and I am sure you will get success.

dont waste time if your not winning go to 1k nl!!

welcome to my life

I mean I make mistakes but I have ran below ev for so long
drives me crazy
i think the universe is trying to destroy my ego. so i just accept this as hopefully the case and i press onward

whilst complaining to people on msn now and then
or spending some time outside crying

frankly im not even sure if i should keep playing half the time. i understand math but there is no rule that this can't go on forever

Travis...... nice to see you're back.

Not nice to see that you are still doing bad though. :[

If there are 1000 people in an online tournament, the average player has about a 1/100 chance of making the final table. If you are a good player, then maybe you have a 1/75 chance of making the final table. If you are a great player, you have maybe a 1/50 chance. What does that mean? It means that even a great player has a 13% chance of playing in 100 tournaments and never making the final table ( (49/50)^100 ). That is just the nature of online tournaments. There is A LOT of luck involved. Skill can only take you so far. To finish at the top you must catch a lot of great cards and win a lot of coin flips. IMO there are four things that separate the great MTT players from the good ones: (1) Stealing, (2) capitalizing on small edges, (3) maximizing value, and (4) all-in free throws. (1) Great tournament players know that the best way to build your stack with little risk is to steal pots. These players also know how to find the weaktight players who will fold too much. (2) Great online players also respect the high variance in online MTTs and are willing to exploit small edges. They are also great at spotting these situations. A great online MTT will be able to spot situations in which he is a 55/45 favorite and get all of his money in the pot. (3) Great online players know that situations in which you are a huge favorite can be few and far between. Great players know how to extract every last penny out of these situations. Great players will not pussy out of value betting a river when they probably have someone outkicked becuase they know that every chip not gained is a chip lost. (4) Great online players also know that in most tournaments they play, they will reach a point where they must go all-in or fold. Great players have studied these situations before they play and do not have to play guessing games when it comes time to move in.
