As for this, I don't pick apart the HHs you post (unless it is something blatently stupid like calling all in with K7 or losing 20,000 chips in the Sunday million with 83 because you were trying to steal a 200 chip BB). I don't recall telling you that you are stupid for pushing or calling all in in specific posted HHs when you were ahead. My advice to you, which has never changed, is simply stop pushing all in as often as you do. Stop playing every hand that you are involved in for all of your chips. You win some and you lose some (yes, EVEN YOU win some as stated above)... but you play tournaments with 9+ people in it with the style of getting all of your chips in when you are 51%, 60%, 70% to win the hand. While you may be favored to win the individual hands, the odds are strongly against you winning them without taking a beat (the odds of winning 2 hands in a row where you are a 70% favorite is under 50%).
If you would like to start winning consistantly, grab hold of that concept. It's not my opinion, it's fact based on simple mathematics. Slow the hell down. Play for smaller pots, try building your stack slowly rather than in large chunks.
Believe it or not, successful tournament players don't LIKE getting all of their chips in the pot as 60% and 70% favorites. Doing this makes you vulnerable... at that point everything is completely out of your hands and, the majority of the time, it's only going to take a single card to beat you.
Why do I even keep trying? Beats the hell out of me. Do you enjoy being a failure at poker?
