That was why I went to cash games

I think this is the reason that the majority of the winning players on this site play cash games.
I still play touraments once and a while and then it reminds me why I dont play touranments.

by any chance were you playing against aaron kanter?

Here's a positive spin on this.

You lose this hand in a tournament and you lose a tournament buy-in.

You lose this hand in a cash game, you lose an entire stack which is probably a lot more money. (My tournament buy-ins are usually about 10 - 20% of what my cash game buy-in would be) True you could buy-in again and take it back, if he decided to hang around that is.

Tib, compare this to the Friday night tournament at Bally's where the starting stacks are 5000, but blinds start at 50/100 then 100/200. You're in trouble a half hour in. Taj really is one of my favorite live tourny's to play despite some tough luck there so far.

All-in twice in a f-cking row with TP getting called by some idiot with middle pair and both times they hit their fucking kicker. Top it off with a muppet re-raising me preflop with A6 and spiking their 6 against my AK. Whores.

I rarely disagree with Ice...

But all tourney and SNG players live to be the fave...Your cash game is no differnt than the tourneys, it just takes longer on the "dark side'...The good guys always win...
