But I can’t since Full Tilt<\/a> doesn’t really have that many games going, and that’s where most of my money is at the moment. <\/p>\n

Lost $120 today playing 2\/4, 3\/6, $5 and $10 SNGs, and $100 NL Hold ‘Em. <\/p>\n

The NL cash game was whatever–I wasn’t catching flops and occasionally I’d make a play at a pot that would get re-raised significantly. Was I outplayed? Maybe, but I didn’t think my holdings were strong enough to continue. <\/p>\n

There were definitely some suckouts in the limit cash games–if I play back at you on the flop\/turn because I know you’re full of shit, why are you calling me down with bottom pair or ace high?<\/i>–but nothing too unusual. Sometimes it’s not enough to have over 30 outs when the other guy’s got 2 or 3. <\/p>\n

No, the thing that’s really gotten me feeling antsy, wound up, and irritated is the run of SNGs. On 5 or 6 occasions I was ahead preflop or on the flop, and got brutally beaten on the flop, turn, or river. I seriously don’t know how all you people can stand to keep playing these SNGs. I mean, yes, I want these calls each and every time, but when I got outdrawn and knocked out, I feel incredibly<\/i> frustrated. Sure, it’s only $5 or $10, but it still pisses me off to no end. <\/p>\n

So. Am I doing something wrong here? Should I raise more than 3xBB in the first few levels with my big pocket pairs? Should I not risk so much of my stack when I flop a set? Should I just stay away from these fucking things because I’m clearly unable to deal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
