Edit:I am mainly a $5-10 MTT/SNG player

Everytime for about the last month now i end up in a showdown with AK AQ A10 ETC against 88,99,10 10,33 etc i lose.

Everytime i end up in a showdown with mid or low pair against K10,Q10,AK i LOSE!!

9 in 10 times i get AK In against A3,A10 etc I lOSE AGAIN!!

My bankroll is destroyed and i seem to be one of those players whose line of variance falls on the unlucky side where as someone else will have won thousands by now. I always seem to go out of tourneys near the bubble.Since July I have been screwed over again an again after being a winning player.

I have taken a break to no avail, and dont understand whether i should keep playing.

Predominantly i was a sng and tourney player, but now the only way i win money is through cash gaming.. which i dont enjoy so much.

Anyone with any serious advice or help to analyse my game?

LoL your first line : im a 5$-10$ player... sounds like ur playing cashgames really..

but you play SnG and Mtt of those stakes..

anyways variance can be cruel really, most players have it just proceed your game and play ur A-game.

If you win money with cashgames btw.... why dont you enjoy it? if i knew i win constant with some game then ill play it everyday.

If ur a fun player who just likes to play a game of poker then its fine you want to stick by the game thats most enjoyable but you talk about ur bankroll being destroyed and others having thousands so i really think you play for the money in first place so...

Go Cash Game!

Try finding out why u were a winning player at the time, be4 bitching about variance. Thing is, good players dont go bust. Good players dont bitch about variance. Good players also try finding leaks in their own game to patch or adjust accordingly.

Im posting this in a very harsh manner, but this imo is the only way to show you what needs to be done.

If u get influenced by standard coolers that much, SNG/MTT isnt a game u shud chose, because you will only enjoy them when running HOT and ur 75/25's hold up - not to mention ur AQ's winning against AK's that u forget instantly.

So basicly, quit the bitching and try and improve ur game to a steady winning player happy

@Chips

This is the Tilt section. I thought i was allowed to bitch here wink

"Offensive but constructive"

If you say so, but what can you actually recommend doing to find those leaks. As it is I analyse certain hands - not all as i dont have time, and i record all of my own game details and the key hands.

I dont get influenced by the coolers at all, I just move on, and my bankroll is so small it can easily go bust with the bad luck i have experienced. I have also probably been playing too many tournaments, yet the ones i do better in are if i qualify for a higher buy ins?

Reason for the post. I could pretend i was a good player and not mention anything, or instead i can be honest and write down my thoughts and see what people advise happy

Either way i wont take offence.
