Being in the middle of another downswing, I decided to write down every hand I was in and which went to showdown, most of them ALL IN, because:
1 - I was playing Super Turbos at Full Tult.
2 - When not playing a Super Turbo, most of the hands that went to showdown were in the late stages of MTT's. Few exceptions involved any sort of post-flop play.
Although I was almost hoping to see, that most clashes are won by the worst hand, the results showed nothing of the sort. The best hands won the majority of the time, I sucked out roughly as many times, as the villains gave me bad beats.
One thing I concluded, however, that the bad beats I got courtesy to some less capable players out there (and oh, there so many of them), happened at times, when it mattered the most. i.e, it is one thing to get sucked out early on in the tournament, sucked out by a small stack which does not affect you much, sucked out when you made in fact a poor play, and deserve to lose anyway, OR, when you are on the bubble, or getting to the chiplead (basically giving a guarantee to win), and get sucked out then by completely idiotic hands and even worse players. And I am not talking about being sucked out on the bubble, when the villain had all the pot odds to call you with any two cards, I am talking about hands like A5o rivering a flush or a trips vs AK or AA.
Has anybody else experienced this, and how do you deal with it?
