Hi guys
Dunno if im being a bit paranoid or just having rotten luck on full tilt.
I used to play a lot of tournament and SNgs on full tilt and noticed a tendency that the big stacks tend to win a lot of pots in all situations with inferior pre flop hands.I play a tight aggresive game and dont know if i should change my style now or am just having bad luck or leaving full tilt.It only seams to happen there.Last night a guy raises with 33 under the gun,i reraise all in with kk.And he flops a set.We were down to 200 people out of 750 then blinds were getting big.This isnt the only case i can name many such situtations but dont wanna waste your time.Anybody else notice these trends or am i paranoid?

I think you are just paranoid. With that said I also think that changing the poker room for a while might help you psychologically if you are not running as good a you used to..

It happens. And happens everywhere. That's all you need to know.
I was in a 1000 person tourney and about to make final table when I get KK go all in, get called by big stack with 33 and same thing happened. It's just going to happen 1 out of 5 times.


big stack hits maybe because he plays more hands ? :O


should i be more adventurous then with hands like 33 late in tourny?


feel free :heart:

no , you should be more aggressive when you have a big stack. so you can afford to gamble a bit. for that you need to build a big stack from the begining of the tournament
