Tell me this is not Bull

[winky51]

Played 14 tournaments today, no-limit. Played very well and I felt I had the best hand going in and on the flop except once #10. I felt I made only 3 mistakes.

I placed 1st in one and 3rd in another thats it. Now you let me know if these final hands are bad luck or not.

The blinds were in the range of 200-400 or 300-600 at each of these tournaments. $30 games

Tournament

#1 6th place: Lost final hand of Ks Kc to 6s 8h BOARD (8d 3d Jh 6s Qs)
called my all in on flop

#2 No cards got blinded, lost to AA final hand

#3 4th place: Lost final hand of As Ks to Ac Jh BOARD (Ts 9c 8h 7h 2s)
He raise PF I put him all in, he called.

#4 4th place: Lost final hand of Ac Qh to Qs 2s BOARD (5s 3s Th Kd 2c)
He called my all in preflop

#5 1st place because everyone kocked each other out. Was short stack with 6 to go. Outplayed my last opponent heads up with 3x more chips than me.

#6 party poker crashed when I was chip leader with 2800 chips with 4 people left *SIGH*

#7 4th place: Chips leader stole my blinds 4 times in a row when I had trash.
5th hand I finally had ATs, he had AKs, I lost. Was short stacked at that point.

#8 5th place: Lost final hand of Ac Kc to Ks 6c BOARD (Qd Td 6h 3c 9h)
He called my all in preflop.

#9 4th place: Lost final hand of Jd Js to As 6s BOARD (6c 3s 6h Ks Tc)
He called my all in preflop.

#10 3rd place: Lost final hand of Ac Qs to As 6d BOARD (5s 9h 2s Ks 7s)
He raised PF I called by accident when I meant to go all in. Checked all the way down I put in my last 800 he called. He had the better flush.

#11 Made a mistake cuz I was steamed and lost early.

#12 4th place: Lost final hand of 5h 5c to Ac 5s BOARD (7h 2d Th Ah 7d)
He called my preflop raise, then called my all in on the flop. Him #2 2400 chips, Me #3 1900 chips

#13 Was chip leader and handed 4 bad beats of 5 hands to the turn or river to suck my chips away.

#14 10th place: 2nd hand in game Ah Kh to 6s 6h BOARD (5d 5c Kd 7c 6s)
I raised PF, he reraised, I called. He went all in on flop without thought and I called. We had same chips.

In each case I was sure I was a head on the flop except hand #10. I was reading my opponents dead on. Very frustrating having days like this.

DO NOT WRITE THIS CRAP DOWN AND RISK REMEMBERING IT.

No one's out to get you; please remove the tinfoil hat. Life goes on.

EDIT: Read the variance thread!

I had the same day.

It means a rush is right around the corner.

Last WEEK was like this for me. Today and yesterday I'm 45% ITM and 9, NINE, 9% ROI and I am HAPPY.

Come back when you have a real bad day. In fact, come back when you have a real bad month. This is absolutely meaningless.

I had the same sort of results my last session. Lost with a couple of higher pairs, a guy who made a higher boat on the river, a couple of draws and maybe 3-4 hands where I dominated. That's poker.

Wow your edit to "month" made this REALLY foreboding. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I went through a period worse than that a few months ago, like everyone else here has. I handled it horribly, but just calling/raising on anything the next week, and probably breaking even during that time (caught great cards) when I could have gotten a lot of it back. So lately I've managed to separate myself from bad beats a lot more and go onto the next tournament. That was a huge leak in my game, and hopefully I've fixed it. Getting knocked out the same way in many tournaments the same day can be frustrating as hell, but part of the online game, and if you're playing well, no problem. In my case, easier said than done though...
