Default Re: Frequent Topic but Humor me - When you Just Can\'t Win

OK...I dont know how much of a specialist or at what level you are playing, but 30 toruneys in a week is not a lot. I play about 40 a day at the $215 level on party. Over the last 200 or so tourneys, I am down 36 buyins. I am a little saddened, but I have come to realize that these things happen. I had AA lose 8 times in a row, all all in preflop 2 days ago. When you lose the hands that you depend on in order to win, you will probably lose. I decided to take a LONG break, as in 1 day, to regain my thoughts and I plan on hitting the games again tomorrow, trying to get in 60 or so. I guess basically what I am saying is to not get discouraged and to not be stupid. You are NEVER going to fold AA preflop...ok there are a few situations, but i'm sure you dont need to worry about them. Just dont act like an arrogant kid saying it is right to fold them. Dont be stupid.

My advice to the original poster is the same as everyone else has already said. Bad runs happen to everyone. Stay within your roll and dont make a bad run worse by letting it effect your play. If your a winning player it will correct itself.

My advice to the guy who is folding aces preflop is that you need to stop playing immediately. The game has beaten you.
