I just learned that if I get outdrawn, it's usually because I outplayed the dumb MF'r, and he outdrew me.. Next time, he wont...

My last two $20 and $25 SnG's I bubbled, both on river cards and yeah, it F'ing pissed me off, but like I said, I got someone to get ALL of their chips in the middle as a DOG, ie, I outplayed them and just got outdrawn. Remember, in NLHE this is EXACTLY what you want!!! When that finally clicked, poker took on a whole new lifeblood..

Just for example, you can see in RR which hands people lost and are screaming "bad beat" but THEY are the ones who made the mistake, then you see the ones that are LEGIT "bad beats" where the loser was a dominant favorite and lost. BIG difference..

That's why I gave up playing limit cash games for awhile, no matter how you play it it's going to be tough to win alot long term on average because nobody will lay anything down, THAT pshcolocgically speaking is FAR worse to me after enduring an hour of that than a day playing SnG's.. It totally FUCKED my mentality. But, if your tourney game is on you can win far more by playing even LL SnG's, rebuy tournies than small stakes LHE... IMHO of course, but that's just because it works for me, it may not work so good for other people...

But, to directly answer your question, my playing style in tournies is TOTALLY different than in cash games SLAA in tournies, SLPA in cash it works for me in tournies, it doesn't in cash, I stick to tournies and my poker mental health is better than ever because I am VERY comfortable playing in tournies how I play, and I am getting much, much better at it than I was, therefore I am much more comfortable, relaxed, and beats don't bother me near as much..

Just for example, I lost one $40 pot playing $1/$2 LHE a couple weeks ago to a river card that sent me over the edge when some monkey raping prick caught his one outer. I mean it fucking FLIPPED me on end. The one hand I got rivered on the other day cost me $200 in payout, yeah I was pissed for a minute, and went right back at it. I lost 5 times the $$$, and had 100 times less worry.... Had 3 more solid cashes right after than and cashed out $500... Fuck it, no big deal...
