good day of poker...yet how depressing

[lovemachine]

today i played 3 mtts

results:

8k guaranteed $35 freezeout on 7sultanspoker - 11th of 238 for $83

$10 freezeout on 7sultanspoker - 11th of 87 , top 10 paid

$25 freezeout on paradisepoker - 11th of 192 for $52

3 tournaments in one day ending 1 away from the final table... so depressing

$10 one i got shortstacked and was forced to go all-in and lost a tossup
$25 one i was very short stacked with about 14 people left and got lucky once or twice so was fortunate to make it to 11th i suppose
$35 tourney i lost on an all-in steal, the big stack kept raising the blinds of me and another short stack so i decided it was time to show him i had enough of his stealing and was going to to steal his steal....unfortunately for me he wasn't stealing this time and had AA

im a little disappointed right now but this just gives me more incentive to win one tomorrow

That is a very good showing.....believe me I can certainly identify with coming very close and essentially bubbling out. I used to consider bubbling busting before making the money...now I consider it not making the final table (where all the real money is) It has been said repeatedly...but I will say it again.
Keep putting yourself in that position and things will eventually go your way. You will catch a run of cards and gain confidence....your steals will work flawlessly and before you know it you will be sitting at the final table with 4 people left in a dominant chip position. When things click it is a beautiful thing. Again...those are very good results playing your way deep in 3 out of 3 tournies - keep up the good work.

I'd kill to do that well in MTTs

to add insult to injury...

just finished 31st of 271 in $25 mtt on 7sultanspoker, top 30 paid

short stacked all-in with A9 vs K9.. bet you cant guess what hit on the turn

not that this is a good payout or anything since all the money is in the top couple places, just kind of followed the 1 away theme from the other night
