Message: [QUOTE="Matt_Burns88, post: 7106801, member: 343619"] This is part of your initiation into the world of poker... Variance is a bitch and as much as we read about it and understand the maths behind it, the reality always bites that bit harder. My advice is avoid the huge fields. Find tournament with field caps or try out smaller sites where you only get a few hundred runners where the standard is still soft, but the first hand all-in crap shoot is much less common. Do NOT avoid calling all in with Aces or Kings early in the tournament, just to avoid the conflict. It is a much more egregious mistake to fold AA than to call and lose. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
