Hi guys, I am having serious problems. Normally I play the $5 SNGS over at pokerstars and I usually get in the money most of the time. Now I understand some pros are going to look at me like I'm some amateur for playing $5 SNGs and ignore this, but for those who are willing to help me with my problem, please continue reading.
I've been having horrible bad beats and a streak of bad luck the past two days. I don't recall placing money in any of the tournaments I've played and that's all I do. I just play SNGs, and I've played about 50-70 of em.
The one good thing that's happened is that I placed 5th in a $3 buyin tournament that had over 1000 participants and won $183. However ever since then, my bankroll has decreased over 100 and I don't know what the problem is. I believe I play the same way I've always been playing. It's just that hands like pocket aces, and kings get wrecked left and right even if I protect them. Other times, I flop sets going all in as low stack, only to have it crushed by the chip leader having the top pair, but somehow catches 4 running cards for a flush. This has happened so many times that I can't even believe what's going on. All I can think about is Daniel Negreaneau's quote "When you're lucky and catch cards the game is so easy but when you're not, it's like do I even know how to play poker?"
I have poker tracker so if anybody could tell me the necessary steps to find any leaks in my game, I would greatly appreciate it. I am a tight aggressive player.
