Hope these points help you , if i was you i"d resort to the bra on a head and inside out under pants and hopefully this run of bad beats will end.

Erimus or anyone wishing to try this approach , if you find yourself on a live tv table you met find you will get some odd looks/comments from your opponents and Mike Sextons commentary will be of intrest but dont be daunted by this, as this is a new radical concept in poker and you may well find everyone copying you after the first break as they see how lucky you get.
Also remember the spectators met chant titttt head titttt head every time you take a pot down.
AMRN:
I"ll have a pint of whatever Noble drinks!!!!
Erimus:
Thanks for replies noble, the hands were played at low buy in mtts £5, £10 and in early stages so accumulation of chips was the aim as the blind structure was fast ie 10 mins, so I would still play them in the same way in that sort of tourney.
Higher buy ins and i will have to think a bit more but even reading Harrington he said if you get knocked out by a higher set or trips it just was not going to be your day and move on to the next tournament.
As for the bra and underpants approach I will try that next time I play live and watch for reactions cheers

just out of intrest Erimus , are you raising your pocket pairs pre-flop or are you just cold calling and trying to set mine?
Erimus:
Usually raise any pp over 99 the rest limp and hope to hit set, usually quite wary of dangerous boards ie flushing and str8ing boards.
Regarding sizing of bets after hitting set I will normally pot size or 3/4 size bet as I want to charge anyone to hit the flush or str8.
I think you were right in an earlier post I think I was a bit miffed about them being bad beats and i have got to understand that this is part of game and take them in my stride and move on without tilting.
