Change your attitude by setting the goal of winning at least ONE tournament after being crippled. It will force you to improve your ability to predict how well certain hands "run" when you're all in. (prob part of why this is happening to you!) Winning from 1 chip or less than 1 big blind feels amazing and it's great practice for final tables where we all get crippled and have to pick all-in hands to survive.

While writing this I went from $2500 to $400 in a stage one Venom satellite but I'm back to $2000 or about 8 BB's with plenty of time to get back into it. (all-in K-9 vs Ax to $4900) Last week I had the chip-lead at the final table of a challenging 246 man event, caught AA 4-handed - went all-in and got called by 77 - 77 rivered a straight and left me with 2 BB's. It hurt but I'm not giving up the title, so I take a deep breath and recall how often I catch cards and get super aggressive... Me and the 77 guy end up heads up -- evened the stacks and we go all in with my K6 vs his K7, he gets a pair of sevens on the flop and it's over. But because I fought back I was/am able to sincerely enjoy the whole 4 hour effort/experience instead of feeling like chump who got robbed?

Another reason you must learn how to do this: When your cards are running bad, fighting back creates some kind of magic that can turn your cards back into winners. Win just ONE!   :vroam::bike:
