I wouldn't usually post this as everybody has bad beats but what has happened to me in the last 5 games I have played is undoubtably horrific. I had an incredibly loose guy who called all-ins with A2o shove before me I call with AK and he shows 86 - he hits his straight. I have KK in the small blind and blinds are 150/300. I shove and a guy calls me with 10-7 os - he hits the flop 10-7-7. I'm thinking to myself "This sucks" but i'm still playing a few more tables. I find AA in the first hand UTG, I raise 4x the BB and get two callers. The flop comes down 9-6-2 all different suits. I raise 2/3 of the pot and a guy shoves. I think to myself "he must have hit his set" but as I already had player notes on him before knowing that he shoves on the flop with A high I called. He showed 2 pairs: 9-2. If you guys think it ends there you are wrong. I'm not going to bang on about how I lost to idiots but I just need some way of releasing this tension - no jokes intended lol. I don't know how I can possibly run this bad. I had the help of Richard Burke who has a blog on here. One of them is titled "Semi pro baby!" I think. He helped me out last night in learning a lot more to do with Sit & Go's and I watched him play. I took in to account what he said and I applied it in my own game. It works but I just can't avoid being sucked out on. I'll hit top pair, top kicker and people will hit running clubs to make the flush on me. I just hate poker at the minute. ♠_frown:

Well these fish must be huge because they keep coming back for more
Hello eikciR,
As elhh82 has mentioned, sometimes we have to pay those players a little temptation money, so to speak, but just remember in the long run their plays are going to be +ev for you.
Just keep playing your A-game as i'm sure you are and these moments will even themselves out in the long run, i'm sure.
Kind Regards,

Well my roll of $30, which I started with, is now $18. All suckouts, literally. Only bad call I made was shoving all in with 12 BB with A-10 suited, which was pretty standard, and I managed to meet Mr KK and I lost haha.
5 suckouts?
Grow some balls, dude! 20-30 buyins swings are normal in SnGs. Get used to it...
Try seeing 5 suckouts in 40 hands every other game for 1.5 months. It's routine that I lose over 1k chips to 2,3,4,5 outers in that many hands. And no, I don't suckout just as much because I'm not that dumb.

Days/Months are irrelevant because its possible not to play alot in this time or to play alot. Alwats measured in hands or tourneys. Its missleading saying 1.5months
I see that in a day. If it's taking you 1.5 months you need to put in a lot more volume.

OK Multiply that by 3 and you get the reality
if you want to feel better after a suckout, look the person up on sharkscope and it normally shows you that they're still losers overall........ie. you will start having your hands hold up eventually
