Re: Biggest losing streak???
In my last 500 tournies (all $50 / $100 level), longest OTM streak was 13. Second longest was 11. This is with a ROI of just over 30%.
One word for sit n go's - streaky.

Sorry to hijack the thread but that is one...

Re: What\'s The Correct Play?
The larger than normal raise (4.5BB from the big stack on the button) is often going to be a small to medium pocket pair. His raise, given the chip stacks, seems to say, "I've got something, I don't...

Re: What\'s The Correct Play?
Folding in this situation is simply unacceptable. Some might even call it disgraceful.
Get all your chips in the centre of the table asap.

Re: Bad bad bad bad bad beat
I agree with Citanul. Bad beats happen to everybody and are of interest to nobody. Therefore do not share with others.
