Best Hand Loses - AGAIN

Somedays you just cannot win. Lately, I have been playing out of my mind. I have literally cashed in over 50% of the 16 tournaments I have played in for the last ten days. I have been on runs like this before. It feels great and you certainly feel as though you can do no wrong.There is only one thing missing. Out of the nine cashes and three final tables I did not win one tournament.

To say I was a little frustrated would be an understatement. Add to the fact that each time I got my chips in the middle at the Final Table, once when I was second in chips, I lost all or the majority of my stack to a bad beats. I suppose this is one of those times where you just have to suck it up. My opponent did exactly what I had hoped he would do and he drew out on me. Not much I can do about that but I wouldn't change a thing other than different cards hitting on the river.

The fact of the matter is that I got my chips in good and that is all any of us can do in this crazy game. When you do have runs like this it just re-emphasizes how difficult it is to win a tournament even when you are playing at your best. Believe me, I have a great deal of respect for those that do this for a living and are profitable players. You simply cannot control what happens once the chips go in and that has to be terrifying to someone that is depending on the cards to pay their bills.
