Anybody else see this trend?

I have consistently been finishing tournaments (usually 6 or 8 person) in the top position that's not "in the money". This is then followed by a very quick finish to the tournament by the remaning couple of players.

I would say that about 90% of the time this exact scenario occurs. It's very frustrating and I think there are other factors besides just my skill or style of play.

Are you kidding me? You fail to make the money...what is so hard to believe? After you get out and the remaining players that are left cashed already,  they loosen up because they are happy enough to make the money and some profit.

god the excuses you fucking donks make are unbelievable

Your bubble play is probably atrocious. You suck dude. Work on your game. Stop making excuses

What excuse did I make? I was looking for input. That was the reason for the initial post. I simply gave a scenario and was hoping for others feedback.

Thx for the great input though... "you suck" was exactly what I was hoping for

Seems like youre looking for an excuse to me

Not saying it's rigged (although sometimes I question), but here's just my latest example of this happening.

I'm again one position out from being in the money

I push all-in with A-K suited

Guy to my left calls and has me covered by about 1.5x my stack

He turns over J-10 off

Flop= 3-10-J

Turn= 7

River= K

Once again, one from the money with a great all-in hand

Ok so you lost a hand that you were about a 62-63% favorite to win. Not really that bad.

But yes getting called by JT and having your AK beat is demoralizing.

First off, what site do you play at? Fulltilt I assume

Do you know how to save your hand histories? mIf you dont I'll show you then send me a WHOLE tourney's history. Talk to you in a few

I play at sportsbook.com actually.

Why? Cuz I'm much more invlolved in sports wagering than poker
