i know it's frustrating to get sucked out on (all the time), and i feel the same way even though you are getting your money in good. poker can be really harsh in that perfect play can still lose. i'm a very competetive person and i hate it when i lose. i hate losing way more than i enjoy winning in fact. that's what makes poker difficult for me personally.

how much volume are you putting in just out of curiousity? for example, how many tables do you play at once? how many tournaments in a session? i know the short answer to your issue is 'variance' and i know that doesn't really help much.

i want to try and come up with some sort of reward system for myself every time i get it in with the best and lose just so i can program myself to feel that it's actually really a win even those variance just nailed me again.

I think the hardest part to swallow is that jagoffs like this are pulling this garbage at a $50 game and winning. We've all played hundreds of hours and see all kind of good hands get it in and sometimes the JJ vs QQ wins but it's crap like this that make you want to commit a crime

Each loss with the best (not flips, but 85%+ favourite to win) = one fudgecicle to eat. EZ game... And possibly diabetes for DJ :)

So with 15bb you min raise from the cutoff and then call off the rest of your stack with Ace-high?

Not sure why you're confused here, unless you're confused as to why you played it so poorly.

18 BB and min raise with AKo? that's begging for a suck out lmao. It's a hand that doesn't play well post flop. Ship it in since u have 2 shorties in the blinds. V shoved cuz he reads ur min raise and the big stack call as weakness. So yeah if u ship pre and he calls with J2o then it's a different story.

LOL @ shoving AKo for 18bb's

Lol who's the crybaby here? Ofc AKo doesn't play well post flop. 2/3 of the time there's no A or K on the flop, means u have A high. Here u don't want a hand that's flipping with u flat and suck out. Min raise price big stack in. The chip leader flatted cuz he wants to see a flop cheap and stack u u dummy:wink2:
