unbe-effin-lieveable grrr....
You know how I lost ? total bs; the guy had 3-7 unsuited i had ace q suited
i went all in 300 my last 300 btw and he came to see me with THAT? mind you he had 5000 in front of him but still and of all the luck... guess what the flop was? 3 -7 giving him 2 pr & me nada  I think I'm better off sticking to Omaha H/L for awhile seems I'm just not any good with Hold'em.

what were the blinds? was this guy in one of the blinds? was this guy the chip leader? what was the average stack?

Not knowing anything about the situation, but in general I'd say that if you had 300 and he had 5000, any laydown is a bad laydown. You surely can't be that torn up about being severely shortstacked and knocked out by a hand that's not even a 2-1 dog. Come on.

Just trying to get the hang of this game and it seems I'm either not aggressive enough or ppl complain I make bad plays. Just a little down, don't think I'll ever get good at it.
The odd thing is, is that when I play for play chips, I do pretty good. But then when I play for real money I lose. *Tried to post this last night but I think this site had another downtime; so I went to practice some more Hold'em in the play chips table and won 600k play chips ofcourse. Too bad I can't play the same in real money.

I think I know where my problem lies. See when I do get below the 1000, I tend to protect myself and I don't go all in or call so I wait for the SB & BB and by then it's too late especially if I get 2 really bad cards.
Playing for play chips & real money is just so different. Thx for the tip,Zybomb, I'm gonna try to rem that.

Rookette, I started out with playchips. I wanted to practice before I attempted money. I found that if I thought as the chips as money, I played them like money, so when I switched to a real money game, my style of play didn't change much. The only thing I had to get used to was money tables have tighter players and I was used to the loose players. At first stay tight when you switch, get a feel for how tight the game will be, then you can start loosening up. So far, it hasn't worked to bad for me.

couldn't get all the stats for it; table closed right after I finished in 10th place...
I rem it being 150 and I went all in with another 150; the other 2 guys folded and this guy with the 5000 called 300. He was chip leader on my table yes. As for the average stack; dunno. Hate when table closes like that; can't take any info that way.

I think one of your problems was you let yourself get too short. 10 BBs is the magic number, anytime you get to that amount or below you need to start pushing with any raise... in position, when its folded around to you, you need to start pushing your stack in on blind steals as well -- if you're called then your called, hopefully you at least have two live cards and are 65/35 or 60/40... if not you pick up the blinds (and antes if its latE) GREAT.
If you start getting down even lower, you need top start gambling and making moves. You have to have a stack where your raise at least represents somewhat of a threat. If the blinds are 100/200 and your stack has dwindled down to 400, your raise isnt gunna scare anyone... in fact from the BB I'll call you with any two cards. A typical raise in later tournament play is 3x BB (sometimes 4)... which means you are gunna need at least 6xBB to scare someone....any less than 5xBB Im pushing before the blinds get back to me whenever theres an unopened pot and the action is on me... I simply cant allow myself ot get any lower So I think the main point to take from this is if the blinds are 150, you should never have 300 in your stack (unless you've just lost a huge hand to someones all in which left you with 300 chips. When you reach the 750 mark, its time to start makin moves and before the blinds get back to you ?'s or if u need more explained jus scream at me... Im just back from a midnight-5 session, im up 440 and Im not tired yet

If the blinds are 50/150 and he is the chip leader with 5000, 300 more (or 150 more if he was BB) is a cheap price to pay to knock someone out and move up in the payout. Plus he knows that even if you double up you still only have like 4BB 's and will get blinded out or push with a weak hand in the near future. It is a little risk-big reward opportunity, even with 73.
