Stars $3R, 4547 runners, almost 6 hrs in... I wait an hour thru every imaginable trash hand... only to have this happen and go out short of the big money in 119th spot. I win this hand, I have 50K plus and EVERY chance at making my second 3R final table.

Why does this ALWAYS happen? Obv, waiting for KK or AA is a fruitless strategy, right? Obv the shaundeeb's and djk123's and ElkY's of the world are not sitting there waiting for KK or AA, right? Where am I going wrong? Cause I won't stick it all in on a bluff with a 78s-type hand just to steal the blinds?

Edit: Sorry, DO NOT ANSWER THAT, no strat in BBV obv

I have what most do not have... patience.

It never pays off tho.

You will never convince me that shoving any 2 just because I have (gasp!) less that 10BB's is smart. F that strategy, it's for dumbasses who read books.

I have confidence I can come back from 2BB's and win the whole shebang. It has happened for me in the past and IT WILL HAPPEN FOR ME IN THE FUTURE.

i just get frosted losing to a dumbass luckbox big stack like this...

I ask again...

...what kind of game is NLHE when K5o can beat KK?

A STUPID F'IN GAME

that's what.

Yes I am very fed up and should quit, cold turkey. I know that.

Problem is, I can't. I am addicted. To a f'ing dumba$$ game. That brings me nothing but AGGRAVATION.

So what kind of game is this?

Flip a coin 50 times and the guy who wins all 50 takes it down?

Yah, fun game huh? Y the "F" do we do this? Is this really a good competetive sport?
