Help me get the big picture (possibly long)

Also, keep in mind that if you find losing MTT buy-in after buy-in to be psychologically draining, how will you react to playing 10 max or 25 max and dropping 100 bucks in 4-5 sessions?

It can be a very rough game emotionally, regardless of what game you play.

hey I just lost with JT vs AA on a JTQ flop where all the money went in on the flop. He hit K on river, maybe I will quit playing tourneys with you....nah got my money in good he got lucky. BTW it was a $55 buy in and it hurt but I know im going to win there a lot of times and have a 5k stack.

Thanks all for the replies (except Sjay, I guess because we disagree on one point about sports betting you have to make posts like that?)

Seems to me that you play well enough to make a final table you assume everyone at said final table has played well enough to get there as well and you still get KK ruined by A2o, very frustrating.

the frustration is real, but it needs to detach a bit. It can't go deep. watching Hellmuth complain I have always believed that he puts himself through an unhealthy level of anger over the level of play of others. It's just not good for health and long term well-being.

Penguinfan I must say you are the most result orientated player I have ever meet.

And what else matters?

You can talk about all the +EV moves you have made in your life, but until you put money in the bank from the results it really doesn't matter does it?

+EV is only good if it holds true and you win some pots with it, otherwise, well?
