I need help 
I've been hitting a downsing for the past few days.
I now play SSS and do what the charts says. Yet I always get badbeat with a runner runner. I know you need to go all in if you have at least two pairs.
- 2 pairs A-K got beat by a set trips.
- 2 pairs A-Q got beat with a straight at the river
- Pocket Jacks got beat by a set trips on the river
- K-Q 2 pairs got beat with set Aces
- Set on the flop got bet with quads
I really don't know what to do. From $57 to $48 to $42 to $38 to $36 to $32 to $29 to $28 to $26.
I called it a day. I really don't know what to do.
Even at SnG I always get a runner runner bad beat.
well, you can't do nothing about a runner runner beat, you just got to suck it up and continue with playing your A game without going on tilt.
But thats just what so hard to do, a lot of people start to get frustrated and start playing bad (like not laying down ak when they have hit nothing on flop) and after the session they think they lost all their money on bad beats.
So the only thing you can do is be honoust to yourself and think things over: were my loses realy all but bad beats? if so just continu playing like you are because the SSS strategy is profitable. If not (the more likely, no offence), evaluate your game, post hands you are not sure of, go search for some of your leaks, read the articles again to see if you missed anything, watch videos etc.. (cause remember, because of the small win rate in SSS, every little mistake you make will cost you alot)
Reporter: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen we are here again at Obed's crib at LC.
Obed: Woah! It's you again! Long time no see!
Reporter: Yeah, sorry went to some errands to make for the past days
Obed: Oh, you missed a lot with my bankroll
Reporter: Really? What happen?
Obed: I've been hitting a downswing
Reporter: Seriously? How much do you have in your bankroll?
Obed: From $52 I went down to $21 after hitting a downswing for days
Reporter: Ouch that hurts, that's more than half of your bankroll!
Obed: You can say that again
Reporter: So what are your plans now?
Obed: Well I shift to ring games playing SSS but I don't really like what the graph shows me. So I'll be sticking to SnG for the mean time.
Reporter: I see so let's go back to your bankroll, do you manage to make an increase?
Obed: Yesterday from $21 I made it to $36 and today after playing 10 sessions I made it to $43.
Reporter: Wow that's a good come back, how do you do that? What strategy do you do?
Obed: Well played multi-table. 10 Table per hour. I usually play 9 tables but when I got bust out I join another one and when i bust out again with the other 8 remaining I just quit and don't join register for a new one.
Reporter: Why?
Obed: Because I got mixed up with the phase. All of the table is in the late phase and the new table is still in the early phase. So I don't do value betting. I always go all-in 
Reporter: That's odd, anyway hows the result of your session for today?
Obed: Well like what I've said I play 10 tables here's the result:
- 1 Table finished 8th place = Didn't cash out
- 1 Table finished 5th place = Didn't cash out
- 1 Table finished 4th place = Didn't cash out
- 4 Tables finished 3rd place = $7.20 cash out
- 1 Table finished 2nd place = $2.70 cash out
- 2 Table finished 1st place = $9 cash out
Total buy-ins = $12.50
Total cash out = $18.80
Profit = $6.40
Reporter: Well it's not a bad result.
Obed: Yeah I'll be playing later when I feel like. For now I'll be playing Facebook games 
Reporter: Okie just call me after your next session ends
Obed: Ok
Reporter: So that's all folk from hitting a downswing to hitting a upswings. We just need to look for any leaks and bad play so you can bring your "A" game. This is your host Master Poker signing out.
Reporter: Hi again as we end the day and welcome tomorrow let's see the final result of Obed's session for the day. Hi Obed
Obed: Hi there, well not a great one though but still I've been reviewing my play and my hands where I loss and where I got beat.
Reporter: So what's the result?
Obed: Oh here's the graph and the daily report from my sponsors Poker Tracker 3.
Reporter: Wow, woot! Downswing!
Obed: Yeah, but that was the last few session, actually that downswing was all from my last session.
Reporter: Why what happen?
Obed: Here I've reviewed my hands errr... let me find it. I got some diary here for today's session
Reporter: Wow diary eh?
Obed: Not really a diary but actually it's all my notes why I got busted out and why I go beat. Every day as I end I always review my session espesially the once that I got bust out.
Reporter: well that's nice to keep track of your mistakes.
Obed: Yeah learning from our mistakes will help us improve
Reporter: Oh ok too much for the chit-chat where's your diary?
Obed: err.. here

1. Another one, if you got over pair and there's a possible straight/flush draw on the board do you still go all-in? To push the draws on pressure and scare him out?

Hmmm... 12-tabling with 20BI is very dangerous... just saw your stats like waaay at the top of the page and noticed (even tho a tiny sample size) that your 1st to 2nd ratio is waay off balance... you need to have more 1sts than seconds... it's where you make your money in SNGs...
And with all the hands you have posted here... it's probably better to post them in the hand review forum where a professional judge can evalutate them... you can learn SOO much theree... GL

Hi NickParkes Thanks for the tip I'll post it right a way
By the way guys I'll not be playing SnG for the month, FTP has a promotion with the Take 2 and I'm just doing some SSS and getting FT points everyday to in order to get my bonus
I changed my style when playing head's up and guess what I'm improving
Does anyone know a software that can be the alternative for PT3? My software is expiring and I still don't have any good br to buy a license.
This made me tilt for to day

It's been a long time since I update this thread, I'm focusing more on TaF so I have a bankroll to start in PartyPoker since my FullTilt account is not under PokerStrategy's affiliation code so after having 900+ FullTilt Points which is 1,800 in Strategy Points I should be a Gold or Silver Member Status now, yet I'm still in bronze ♠_frown:
Anyway here some update in my BRM:
:spade:From $5 last August 9 I know have $75
:spade:Playing SSS in NL05
:spade:Moving up to NL10 when I reach $110
:spade:Moving down back to NL05 when my BRM goes $100
You tried to ask the support about this or mail full tilt?
Wow from 5$ to 75$ nice ♦ !
Gud luck in grind NL10 with SSS ^_^

Yep I did tried asking FullTilt Support if they can change my affiliating code they said it's against there contract or what so ever. I'll probably ask PokerStrategy's Support if I can create another FullTilt account with the different name so I can get some Pokerstrategy Points ♦.
Anyway thanks for the luck. By the way, I've reading your blog, I think there's a problem with your betting that's why they overplay you. Just my two cent.
Anyways good luck to you grinding NL05 with BSS.
