Now I'm down 25 bucks from my starting bankroll because I can never cash in tournaments anymore. I'm up about 60 bucks in cash games and have spent almost 100 on tournaments, I got 3rd place in a $6 SnG and that's it out of all the tournaments. I get to the bubble in 90% of the SnG's, then every fucking time I get a hand, someone has one slightly better one, or lucks out like when my AQ lost to Q10, he got a 4-card 10-high straight.

You only have a pair. Call and thank him for only miniraising you. Check the turn and call a reasonable bet. If he goes for more than $2, fold.

> Turn: ($1.95) (3 players)

Hero checks, MP3 bets $0.5, Hero calls $0.50.
The SB action is missing but from the result I think he checked and called. When two people show strengh before you, it is reasonable to assume at least one of them have a King.

Try playing tighter and don't call PF all-ins without monster hands.
