Sigh. Im damned if i do, and damned if i dont when i post on this site. I'm sorry im not as good as you or 90% of the people on this site.And i probably played about 100 tourneys this past week alone.Thats great that you played 4000 games last month. i have to work for a living and have a family.Thx for all your input.I'll just read from now on. No more posts from me. Fuck,i post a bad beat and get ridiculed? Fucken awesome. And im not a fkn new poker player ok? Ive been playing online for 8 yrs or more and quite a bit.I may be a shitty online player but im not a beginner. Also i hadnt posted for weeks and every time i come on this site which is quite often,a note at the top lets me know that i havent posted in a long time and recommends that i do. So i thought i would post a bad beat.Sorry,but to me it was a bad beat...thx

I think the point that everyone is trying to make is about how to keep from getting as low as you did. If it whittled away while waiting for good hands, then perhaps you need to be more aggressive and try to attack more.

Fact is, even with more chips, this hand more than likely would have played itself. Try this. Let's say instead of 800 chips, you have 8000. Same hand. Same flop. What do you do? Are you checking to try get someone interested in stabbing at it? Betting 1/2 the pot? Overbetting the pot because of the possible flush draw?

When you're short like you were, that's exactly the flop you need, just not the runner runner result you were looking for.

may not even about being more aggro, this is pretty early in a tourney and maybe the fact is you were playing to aggro to early. Maybe playing hands from positions that you shouldn't play from, but if your gonna to cry every time we try to help you, instead of seeing what it is we are trying to do....which is help. Then don't post because you will find our responses to be less and less helpful and more at ridiculing you.

No one is saying it ISN'T a bad beat. What others are saying is MAN UP! Its going to happen, more often than you want too.

The bigger question is Cerebus's post above. How did you get from 3000 to 800?? Would you have even played the hand if you had 8000 chips in front of you?? To me it looks like you wait for premiums for too long and get chipped down, but I have no idea how you went from a big stack on smaller levels to <5bb?
