How the hell can you win tournaments...

When you lose 80% of your coinflips?

You can't.



I've now lost 13 coinflips in a row, and 18 out of the last 22, every one for my tournament life.

Depressing.

Edit: Make that 18 in a row, 23 out of 27. My online bankroll is gone, I am gonna hafta reload when I get some more cash. I went from ~ 900 bucks to 0 in 4 days playing 30$ SNGs.

Sucks.

2nd Update:

I went ahead and reloaded, and went from 200 to 0 again today. During this time:

I was dealt AA 4 times in the 10$ Stars rebuy after the break, and every single time, my 2xBB raise made everyone fold. I eventually lost 3 coinflips in a row, and was out 3 from the money. I'd bought/added on 7 times.

I played 5 SNGs, and lost all 5, coming in 4th place 4 times, and 5th once, holding AA.

Not sure what to do next, I can't just keep reloading.

I just might not be cut out to play on the internet? Who the hell ever heard of that?

Sounds like the worst run in the history of poker. The next time you reload, try like $400 and stick to $5 SNG's max until you're off the highway to hell. There's no shame in that.

Everyone goes through horrible runs, at least mine today was when I was HU in a 90 player SNG. No less than 5 times did I have the other guy all in. I kept outplaying him to build up a lead only to have the Poker Gods cruelly deny me.

My 88 split pot vs 44.
K9 loses to AJ
88 loses to K7
KT loses to QJ
JJ loses to K9

The odds of me not winning one of these 5 hands is 1 in 209.

Then when I'm finally all in KJ split pot vs K8.

But losing 18 coin flips in a row is 1 in 262144. Are you sure about that?
