i placed 2nd today in a 250gtd plo8 carbon tourney today. although thats a good run i feel like i was playing bad just getting lucky and making big hands. kinda strange feeling after the game.like there was no skill envolved i like winning but like to think its cause im a decent player. have any of you felt like this. even though you placed good.
With blinds, it generally who get's the hands...Quote:

at least you tried
2nd is almost first
Sometimes you just gonna play bad and cash to get that gooooood feelin again.
well done thats a good place next time you are going to be luckiest
This one I've got to reply ,stop complaining,there will plenty of times when you'll play almost perfect poker ,put someone on a hand,and they'll hit a miracle card on the river to knock you out.Luck is a part of poker ,the skill is in the long term,enjoy your victories in life and poker when they come.
playing good does not always equal a victory so I would say be happy with your second no matter how bad you feel you played
not to mention you were playing plo which always takes away the level of skill that is involved in the game im sure there were people who played a lot worse than you
wasnt complanin on 2nd maybe i explained it wrong
Totally agree. Sometimes when you play your worst you end up winning, then when you play perfectly get knockedout on a miracleQuote:

I read the book " ACES AND KINGS"in it Doyle Brunson said a friend told him he was playing really bad poker after that he took a two week vacation and got his mind right.
yea pokerowned is a great place to build a bankroll from scratch
In a game like PLO sometimes all you need is luck.
thanks for all the feed back guys :)
no u didnt!! but nice cash!! omaha hi lo is a tricky game!!! and sometimes u just get lucky, its hard to outlast the fish!!
no one cares about your feelings lol tom jones does tho
There are definitely times in a given tourney when I feel like things are almost pre-selected - sometimes it's others, but a few times it's been me, where no matter what I do, I can't lose. I guess that's what it's like being on a streak of hands, but you're right - there's no real pride in it.
I feel like I played this good. lolz 30 buyin downswing cause of hands like this.
