Hm played a few tournaments recently ( 5-8 or smth).
didnt go too well besides my 5th place in a 650 man 5$ MTT

I got kinda ITM small in most of them but didnt manage to make another "big" score.

The problem with tournemants is that the price structure is extremly bad.
you need to at least FT a tournament in order to make it worth money/h wise compared to cashgame.

And even the very best players dont acomplish more than reaching a final table 1 out of 12 Tourneys average. ( ofc they sometimes do over small sample size but i havent seen someone reaching more than 10% FT over a sample size of 100+ tourneys ... even the very best dont FT more than 10%)

ALso i am not sure about which strategies fit best for tourneys.

I thought agressive play and chips in the early midstakes are very important when i listend to some TV tipps like 8 month ago

However i did best by very tight abc poker that a 10 year old could do.

And as i watched some recent Tournament vids of very good players i realized most of them play tight as fuck , too
I was always wondering which secret stuff good Tournament players use and how their edge can be seen by completely outplaying opponents.

but after watching some good vids i was kinda dissapointed.
They just play standart tight abc Poker till almost final table >_< + get lucky in 2-3 situations which enables them to get a good chipstack.
then they make 1 or 2 good descisions in deep pots
and thats all.

Also played some HU cashgame ...
got river sucked out 4 times in 100 hands then villian run away ...
-> >_<

cashgame also isnt going too well
doing kinda break even now at Nl20
some days i win some money other days i lose some money
gotten lots of coolers and suckouts lately which kinda demotivates me a bit.

I mean you play some ugly card game for 2 hours just to end breakeven due to 3-4 really ugly suckouts for a whoel stack u get every session.

think i am just dissapointed about poker recently
