Message: [QUOTE="xOneCoolHandx, post: 5158315, member: 143461"] So, today I played in 4 freerolls, in the first three I got knocked out in three consecutive hands. In the first one, I was cruising along, even though it was early, I had doubled my stack a few times when I caught QQ on the button. There had been an raise from the UTG player, but he raised every hand preflop, so I 3 bet him. He pushed, I called. He had AK and caught both on the flop. We had nearly equal stacks so I was left with just a few chips so I closed the table and jumped to another tournament. The first hand I pick up was AK suited. The pot again had been raised. I re-raise and get called. Flop comes A 10 8. I bet, he calls. Turn is a J giving me top pair/top kicker, gutshot straight draw and 4 to the flush. River is a 3. Knocked out again. Jump into another tournament. Jump into another tournament, first hand I get JJ, raise preflop and get re-raised. I push and get called by 77. He flopped a set. I jumped into a fourth and I won! During the tournament I won, I was in the BB when the CU raised. I defended with Q2s. The flop came giving me 4 to a flush. CU raised and I called. Miss the turn but I didn't feel like the CU was very strong so I lead out. He calls. I hit the flush on the river and check. He bets strong and I raise, he calls with AA. I was thinking back through tournaments and I think in every tournament I have ever won, I have given at least one bad beat to someone else. Later in this tournament, I was sitting with a huge chip lead (I was over 100k in chips to the next guy down) when I caught KQs in EP. I raise and it folds around to the button, he pushes, BB then pushes over the top. I felt like I had the worst hand of the three and the pot odds were 't really there for me to make the call but I did. Button had AJ and BB had 99 and I catch a queen on the flop and end up with a flush. Still later, I take another bad beat (get aces cracked, but the other player was just under average so it didn't hurt much). Has anyone else ever noticed that on your way to winning (or deep runs) in a tournament that you can play great but also need to get lucky a few times to win? [/QUOTE]
