Anybody else playing sng's today if your not too hungover:p.
My god the fish are out today, but as usual my hands can't hold up or I can't hit sweet fuck all when I have a tonne of outs.
Played 4 tables and got a 3rd in a 18 man to at least minimize the losses so far.

Decided to cash out the majority of my bankroll for 2011, wanted to try a new challenge for 2012, left $300 on my account and starting to multi table games within proper bankroll management. Grinding out the small $3.50 games and can't have a hand hold up for the life of me. Kinda forgot how hard it was to grind out the smaller games again, high variance but planning to keep at it and see what I can pull off. Wanna see how long it takes to hit $5,000 bankroll. So im spending today gridning out these sitters and iunno if more fish are on today or what, but my hands are getting cracked constantly today even though I am getting it in 95% of the time ahead. its sikkk..... let the grind continue though.

Online poker is a funny game. It mirrors baseball in so many ways. A hall of fame hitter gets a hit 3 out of 10 times, over the course of their career. That means, he failed to hit 7 out of 10 times.
Same thing in online poker, the really good players only cash in about 1 out of 6 tournies. And go really deep, less than a third of those. Even the best of the best, our very own BetrThanPhil, only cashes 15% of the time. Over 80% of his profit from 2011 came from just three tournaments.
If you want to be a great tournament player, you need to get good at losing more than you win.

It is definately true that you need to get use to losing more than winning when playing MTT's. It obviously sucks when your close to cashing and you get all the chips in at any given time with the better hand, being ahead and having the other hand catch up and take the pot down. It hurts to invest that time and it sucks because when it rains it pours. However, I use that as a chance to learn and I don't let it bring me down. In fact some of the time I get knocked out I walk away happy. It sounds strange but usually 90% of the time I get those beats, I get my chips in good, im ahead going in and they just happen to catch up, thats the poker gods at work but I know I got my money in good. However the times that I get it in and I am behind, or the obvious coin flip situations where I have the 2 overs vs the under pair, I use those times to learn from how the hand was played so I can get my money in when i am ahead instead of calling or however it played out and being behind. That being said, it is still sometimes hard to swallow playing so well for so long and running bad. Though thats poker and you gotta take the good with the bad right?
