Hey guys, Im 27yrs old, I've been playing poker for the past 3 years now somewhat regularly. I've had a very strange path so far that I feel I am always battling the bad side of variance... could this be true? I play mostly low/med stake MTTS on stars but find I either can not bubble for long periods of time then I seem to make a final table once every few months... two weeks ago i finished 6th in the big 27.50, my biggest cash is winning the big 11 last august for over 13k....
That being said, I rarely can make bubbles these days. I CONSTANTLY am getting busted by players who get it in bad against me and then hit their draws once the chips are in the middle... Should I be folding KK, AA, AK etc more often!? I feel like I play a pretty solid game because I am often picking my opponents ranges off very well, but even once i determine Im ahead, put in the chips..I still come out on the bottom time and time again.
After winning the 1300 a few weeks ago i left myself 300 to play small stakes tournies with...after a few days it was gone...For the past few days I have been just throwing on 25-50$ and taking shots in $11-$22 tournies with no luck and my funds are droppping fast.
Just hoping that someone will relate to this situation and have some solid advice to what I may be doing wrong.... I know most of you will say that my bankroll management needs improvement which could be true, however I feel that when the buy in is insignificant (1$-5$) I have a hard time playing my A-game because I dont trust other opponents to be taking the game seriously. I feel I play well at the levels Im playing, just cant win.... Thanks
