Your problem (from what I've seen) is well before this time. It's not this hand. Entering this hand you have an M of just over 1. That is way below critical. I call you with 2,3 off here if I close the action. You need to post hands way earlier if you want serious help.. Gotta open up much much earlier.

I do appreciate any advice for sure. Obviously there are alot of things i could do differently. I always find myself saying "Ok,what now?" lol. Alot of people in here think im a fkn idiot by the sounds of it.Im sorry im not a regular like all you other guys,im just trying to learn how "not to" get burned every tourney. Thx for your input too dj.I appreciate it..

Im not making excuses but it was a speed rebuy. I was at 15500 after the rebuy ended and i missed the add on. I did steal a couple blinds after the rebuy ended. I think i went out after an hour and 45 minutes,but yes i definitely need to increase my stacks, and thats why im trying to learn how to..... Still tho,if i would have won that hand,i would have been in better shape. Im not defending my actions.I know i suck.But the best hand going in hardly ever holds up it seems like...Thx......

(And if i wasnt putting in all these posts,there would be less reading for ya'll.....lol)

No one thinks you're an idiot. Try not to take what's typed online to heart, you have to get past the ribbing and good natured humour (and that is how I take it). I've been told to take up shuffle board before, lol.

Playing online tournaments is more disappointment than it is triumph, you lose more than you win, just the nature of it. How you deal with it is the key.

Also, not getting yourself in positions where you have to win the 65/35 hand to stay alive is also a skill you need to develop. Or getting down to less than 10 BBs before having all your chips in the middle.

No.

Online poker is not about learning what you do well and feeling like a champ when you do it.

Its about learning what you dont do well and stopping that, then feeling like a champ. When you do this, you wont be disappointed by these types of hands, you'll be encouraged.

When someone jams 4BB with AK and I call them in the BB with 68 suited and I get there, that's not a bad beat, thats bad play.

What the OP needs to understand is that these are not bad beats he's posting. And if he doesnt get that, he'll never get better. If you want to get better you need to plug leaks. Figuring out how you got to 3BB and fixing that will make you feel a hell of a lot better than coming here and posting your weak beats.

Thx Wetts. I know every post that ive posted with a "disappointing to me" hand,my stack has been low.Obviously thats a huge problem and i know too it boils down to aggression and that fact that i am weak at that. Something to work on.Thx to you and everyone else for taking the time to post some info.....

compuease

Keep at it and thicken up the skin a little, there are some crusty old soles here (i'm not one) but they mean well.. You managed to get both Wetts and Betrthan (2 of the best online players around) to post advice in your thread so consider that a win and pay heed.

kidcolt66

Will do Comp!! Thx alot.

compuease

And remember 7,2 off is only about a 2-1 dog to AK so if you get too low to have any fold equity (which is the case in most of your posted hands) then you are going to see this over and over again.

kidcolt66

Really eh? Good to know. Will keep that in mind,thx.....
