    Default Can you be On & Can you be off

    Have you ever had one of those days, where no matter what you do, how good you play or how positive you are you just dont win! Your opponents hit that 2 outer on the river to knock you out on the bubble more than once. Do you beleive in some days you should play and, if the cards arent coming out right you should stop playing.

    I've just played for 6 hours bubbled in 6 out of 7 SnG's & and came 4th away from money after 2 hours in a MTT

    I held A7spade against AQoff

    Flop 9d9s7s

    I pushed being short he called

    Turn 2h

    & the river Qd

    Sorry but i need to vent, but seriosuly does this happen to you, and if so how do you deal with it?

    you probably have had days where you can't lose, too, right?

    but yeah, happens to everyone. just back away and don't waste your money when you feel like you can't win.

    i prefer just cussing out loud, but really all forms of yelling and swearing are pretty helpful.

    I use the law of averages. I'm crap at SNGs so I basically just enter 4 MTTs at once. As soon as i'm out of the first I start another. You basically have to play about 8-10 before you build a big enough stack in one of them to take it all the way as there are so many mine fields early on.

    Try playing like a crazy mo fo in late position and play like a rock in early position. You'll find you're either out early or build a massive stack. That massive stack is useful on the bubble for beating the short stacks up and building a monstor stack for the final table.

    once I start losing at sng's, maybe after not cashing for four in a row or having a couple nasty bubbles, I'll switch to cash games. If I take a dip at cash I'll go to sng's. If I'm too tilty to be playing anything or I suck at both I'll play tournies, because I'll lose at them anyways. Or I'll get a nice gong show at 5NL going, with a little trash talk and Labatt Blue.
