Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6400571, member: 397965"] I have checked your profile on Sharkscope for ACR, and your results are indeed terrible. In fact they are some of the worst, I have ever seen. So if you want to give up and find another hobby, thats totally fine. But if you do decide to play again, you need to understand, that the reason for your terrible results is mainly the way, you play. Its not, because other people play poorly for instance to loose. In fact that makes it easier to win not more difficult. And its also not, because you are getting cheated. Other players do not know, which cards are coming, and the RNG is not rigged against you. These are just excuses for not looking at the real problem, which is the way, you play. So if you want to play again, first of all you must take the game serious and begin to study. The CC "become a winning poker player in 30 days" is a good place to begin. Good poker strategy is a bit more complicated than just playing good starting hands. In your last 8 tournaments you have an awfull lot of very early finishes like 253/260, 80/82 and 133/134. This will happen to everybody now and then, but when it happen so often to you, it could be an indication, that you overplay hands postflop, when stacks are deep. You cant win a tournament in the early phase, but you can lose it, and going bust this early should really only happen, if you run into some kind of big cooler like KK vs. AA or set over set. It should not happen, because you stack off an overpair and run into a hand like J4 offsuit, which made two pair or trips (or even a boat). Another potential issue might be, that you are simply to tight and/or passive in the mid and late stages. Then your stack will tend to get short, and when you finally pick up a big hand and get it in, you need to win, because otherwise you are out of the tournament. Whereas a looser and/or more aggressive player might have built a big stack by winning many small to medium sized pots without showdown, so that he can afford to have his AK cracked by JTs without busting from the tournament. When you have done some study, then its time to make an investment of around 100$ in a tracker like PT4. This is for storing all your hand histories for future analysis and also keep track of your results. And for the HUD on sites like ACR, that allow it. And then you need to build up a track record. You do that by depositing a small amount of money like 100-200$ and then grind away at the lowest stakes cash games or SnGs offered. On ACR I would suggest 2NL cash games or 1,5$ SnGs. And then you keep on doing this, until you have won at least 50 buyins. So 100$ in 2NL cash games or 75$ in 1,5$ SnGs. Then you move to the next level and repeat. And then to the next taking it step by step. If you are beating either 10NL cash games or 5$ SnGs, thats the time you can consider to move back to MTTs, and at that point you should limit yourself to something like 5,5$ MTTs, until you have at least a 10% ROI over the last 1.000 games. It is definitely possible to beat online micro or low stakes games, but it require a bit more than just to sit down and play tight and complain about your bad beats. I have only played around 175 tournaments on ACR, since its not my main site, but my results over this small sample are pretty decent, and I have no reason what so ever to think, the site is rigged.
