Damn Stupid Tournaments

Damn I hate tournaments. Yesterday I decided to end my break from them so I played a few. Six to be exact, cashed in a SNG but bubbled in three mitt. When I say bubble I am talking one hand from the money in one. In a HORSE Satellite on Stars it was paying 14 places. I got the high card in the Razz leg, putting me all in. Got knocked out and at the other table the other short stack got knocked out 15 seconds later! Sure it was only my buy in back but would rather have my $39 back then get nothing. The satellite was paying 10 places to the WCOOP $215 HORSE tournament. I plan on buying into it, if I don’t win a seat. Well yesterday I wasted $78 trying to win a seat and 2 weeks ago I spent $44. It appears I should have just bought in and not wasted my money on satellites. Also finished two out on the money in a Hi/Lo tournament on Full Tilt. This was very depressing being I had a ton of chips the whole tournament. Went card dead toward the end. Then the short stacks kept winning their all ins. I also played in a freeroll 630 man satellite on Full Tilt for a round two seat for their Aussie Millions prize package. I got it heads up with a 2-1 chip lead. Had him all in and he 2 outered me on the river. I lost this one, didn’t cost me anything except time wasted. Even the SNG that I cashed in was very frustrating. When we got heads up he had a 4-1 chip lead on me. I chipped up by stealing many small pots. I had a 3-1 chip lead on him when I put him all in. I had flopped trips so it looked like I would win one. Nope again two outered on the river. Tournaments are just too frustrating. I may have to take another break from them. Cash games weren’t very good to me yesterday either. I bled around 40 BBs at $1-2 yesterday. Wasn’t that bad being earned much bonus/rakeback, around $35 worth. I will keep at it tonight. Good luck at the tables. Tony
