Default MTT luck? In the gutter.

Yeah, so I play for mere dollars in MTTs. That's beside the point. I play them a lot, I spend my time playing them, I get very close to the end. And then I lose. If I am going to lose an 80-20 favorite, or even better, a 95-5, can I at least have it happen before I spend hours playing?

Allow me to demonstrate.

Hero is dealt Qc2c in the small blind.

Flop: 7h5d2h.

Checked around, 5 players.

Turn: 2s.

Hero bets half his stack. Villain calls, with only one bet left in stack. 3 folds.

River: 3c.

Hero puts Villain all-in. Villain calls.

Villain shows 3h3d.
Hero shows no profit for all the time he's wasted playing MTTs this week.

And that concludes my bitch session.

It's called justice for the best hand preflop and on the flop. NEXT

meh, but it's not like I was betting it the whole way or anything.

Actually, I found that I played exceptionally well, and after losing that hand, I cried and said I had played perfect poker for 2 hours.
