I entered several mtts tonight,I don't like stars but after cashin in the million and again in the nightly i had some funds still in there, and im a fool for tournaments even though I dont win them.

So I entered a $100 f/o . busted out 99 vs AK. Fair enuf ya know. Race.

this $27 fo I busted pushin 9s again, this time into Ks. Whatever. I dont mind, small mtt buy in one.

But the nightly, I am pissed about, I amassed a sound 6,000 withblinds at 75/150, when a big stack just moved in from early position. I found J J in mid /late. So I dwelled and dwelled, and finally thought that unless its a misclick, it smells like QQ hopin someone or ss calls with lower pair or AK and will take a race, rather then face playin oop. So I think I made a wise decision and passed my Jacks.The button insta called and they showed QQ for the raiser, and KK the button. I would have hit a J, which I felt was a bit of a pisstake, since I think few people could make the fold I had. But whatever. I didnt lose any chips.

Little while later, I still still siting with 6,000 I get Q Q in bb, and the mid position guy makes it 600 , the blinds being 200, I decided that rather then play myQs oop, and the fact it ll look like a 99/88 push I moved all my chips in.He thought for a while and called with 8-8 and the board came , 8-8-2-Q-3. How sick is that ? I even hit my Q and still cant win the hand. I get punished for folding the Jacks correctly like a great player, even though the player has played his Q's deceptively. Then get a punk to call me off with 8s with like a 20% chance and he flops Quads. This was maybe a 100 off the cash, and with 12,000 chips I think I would be able to at least plug on till the top 120 which ensures at least a cash. But this is how poker is right. It's not a fair game, one guy can bust his ass forever and be so unlucky and never rack a win. While Moneymaker satelites into the ME of the WSOP and win too.

I played a $10 mtt with 3,000 chips and came 97th/2700 i basically played crazy late on cos I didnt care about gettin $20 or whatever, so I took alot of gambles with the worser side of 50-50 or 60-40 and pretty much lost everyone. But I didnt care about that tourney anyway.

I wish I didnt cash in the million though cos it made me play these tournaments this week on pokerstars. I was playin on Titan, doin cash games and the odd rio jackpot sng.

Aelred said to me the other day he's playing tournaments again, so he can overtake me on the leaderboard of p5's in uk lol. TBH, this would be no major feat neway since i dont ever win,so good luck aelred!

Well, I'm very hungry, frustrated and basically ready to think of playing a different game online. Maybe cash games or sngs, cos frankly the streak story can't be the root of the problem. Unless I am just an unlucky prick doomed. I probably need to re-evaluate my game and see why I aint winning. I tried to change my game to fit the mtts i am playing, so I am playing a lot more rocky, but clearly there is a problem in that. Maybe I should try a crazy loose approach and hope that works ?
Meh. Life goes on.
