Message: [QUOTE="Egon Towst, post: 900505, member: 11768"] Quite correct. For tournament players, in particular, the bad beat is a commonplace occurrence. There are only three ways in which your tournament is likely to end: a. You reach the FT and secure a big payday. b. You make an error, put your chips in while behind, and are busted. c. You put your chips in while ahead and are busted by a bad beat. Since A will always be comparatively uncommon, and B should become increasingly rare as your standard of play improves, C is going to be your most common outcome and will become more so as you become a better player. Therefore, as WL says, if you can`t get used to beats and shrug them off, you will never have what it takes to succeed as an MTT player. [/QUOTE]
