Message: [QUOTE="Arjonius, post: 1863164, member: 5332"] When you ask yourself how you could have won a hand where you lost big due to a suckout, or even how you could have lost less, that's counter-productive; i.e you're asking yourself a question you shouldn't be. Basically, when someone is drawing thin against you, you want the pot to be as large as possible because it maximizes your EV. Yes, you lose more when the opponent hit, but as already pointed out, you end up doing far better due to winning the max the majority of times when your hand holds up. And 4 tournaments is a negligible non-cashing streak. If you're talking MTTs, a lot pay about 10% of the field; i.e. the straight mathematical expectation is cashing 1 time in 10, In any block of 10 where you cash once, it's impossible not to have at least 5 consecutive non-cashes.
