I cant win a hand today

it just seems to me  I am either to aggressive or I have been so unlucky
now I know we have been down this road before , it  is when i have a draw  and i shove that that draw if it is at least 50/50 and there  are chips in the pot it is correct to shove  , but I lose  and i have not one a game to day at all  
3 by 2nd place  and a 3 rd place out of 4 games of 4 man sng  

so the 3 2nds means i won 3 games at least but couldn't make it past  the next guy , none of these guys seemed like great player\s they just won the race  
so a bit disappointing  and It makes me wonder should I not be so willing to race against the 2nd player , it would seem if they make it 2 nd place they may be better than the average guy  that sits at this type of game  
the other thing I have noticed it my HEM has been paying me  for 2nd  which is incorrect this has only happened since the latest update to HEM  

well i might play one more then i am going to cut and polish my Jag

Very Happy

Meh. I'm not loving life either atm. Moved up from 15$ to 30$ hypers after exams and ran $1k under EV in 560 games (sick volume for me in 2 days)...... These games are definitely beatable imo (even for someone like me who never had coaching or watched a husng.com vid)- just the*&^*% variance. Mind you, my game isn't great, since my EV ROI is like 2.5%.

I'll move down to the $15 hypers soon, and maybe get a husng.com sub too since I can't see any other way of improving my hypers game (no one here seems to play them- though probably for good reason).

Wait.. you played 560 games in 2 days? Does the avg hyper turbo last like 3 minutes?

I don't play them now, but I plan to sometime in the future. Imo if you want to play HUSNG long term, you have no choice. It's where all the action is, and where all the fish have swam off to.

Problem with them is, it takes so long to get an idea of if you are really doing well or not, it's hard to improve your game. That wont put me off though. In theory your HUSNG reg speed, and turbo experience should be of some use, because basically you are always making decisions based on effective stacks anyway.

Yep Smile Probably more than a month of my normal volume at the turbos lol. Hyperturbos on average last like 10 hands.

Trust me on this. You WILL be a winner at the $15 hypers or lower. Just need to get reads quickly on incomplete information- there are nits against whom you can minraise/cbet halfpot (or even less on dry boards) all day long, and there are ppl that call 3bets/shoves with atc (probably think it's always 50/50 going into the flop).

Also imo the biggest edge any reg can have is if you can tilt a fish into rematching you over a long session (it's much easier to do so in hypers because of the fast nature of the game).
