What do you do when......... ?
noble1:
everything below is good advice and points to follow......
1 find a lucky pair of under pants you could wear...
2 the bra on head for flips does work wonders....
3 buy a cat so you can kick it when you lose,saves on expenses for broken mouses,laptops and monitors etc etc
4 last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.DO NOT TRY THIS....
5 Remember - Poker is like sex - everyone thinks they"re the best, but most people don"t have a clue what they"re doing
6 money isn"t everything...unless you"re playing in a rebuy tournament
7 they say poker is a zero-sum game. It must be, because every time a donkey plays his sum ends up zero ;D :-*
8 poker is like sex, it"s gr8 when you go allin
9 remember - you can only play pocket jacks 3 ways, all of which are wrong
10 it don"t matter if the donkey is blind you still gonna lose if your crap
11 give up poker if opponents say the following - Even Your Poker Face Is Ugly
12 always complain to the dealer the cards are ill shuffled till you have a good hand
13 avoid people with gold teeth who want to play cards
14 the good news is that in every deck of fifty-two cards there are 2,598,960 possible hands. the bad news is that you are only going to be dealt one of them hands Chipaccrual - most likely 72o
15 poker is not about whether you won or lost, its about how many bad-beat stories you are able to tell
16 there is a very easy way to return from a casino after a nights poker with a small fortune: make sure you go there with a large one
17 the trick to poker is mastering the luck
18 remember no wife can endure a gambling husband, unless he is a steady winner
19 most probably right now your best chance of getting a flush is if you go to the toilet....
20 as Eck says - get pissed

So I go out in 58th place earning $20.60 for my 5hrs of poker play. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world. ;D
bigredders:
this is the problem when you play this level of players! i had a silimar situation earlier when i push all in(with pocket 8s) and someone calls 1/3 of his stack with 8-9 off!! of course the 9 hits on the flop and im nearly drawing dead! Can you imagine doing that yourself?
something i have been doing recently is playing tournaments with a lower amount of runners, funnily enough my results have been far better including making final tables instead of just cashing. try that for a few weeks rather than playing the big guarantee tournis, hopefully you luck and skill will come through! ;D

Skill ?
I think you must be confusing me with someone else.
I"m the tall chap that is normally running around getting chip counts at APAT events because I"ve already been knocked out.
I do agree with you though about the thinking of "would I push/call with what they push/call with"
Noble1 sent me a link to a very good article on levels of poker thinking. Will go and try and find it.
