You need to take a break. I know this isn't new advice, but it's for sure the best thing to do. I don't care who you are, if you're running bad and down a load of buy-ins, it's not just gonna affect your game to some degree, but also your enjoyment of the game, and poker is a game that first and foremost should be FUN.
Hope your run bad ends soon :)

Play pac-man instead of PLO

I'm surprised you didn't even give a passing mention to your flopped royal :P

Hi Sam, great vid as per usual.
I have a really REALLY important question. What does your dark pink "ggfnngf" note mean? :P

On the turn, isn't just folding the best option? Calling will just put you in so many tough spots on blank rivers if he bets again and you certainly can't raise seeing as your flush draws equity has diminished (if it was even live to begin with).

Is there anyway I can play this better on earlier streets? I was planning on check-raising the turn but when he pots it I never have any fold equity with my draw (I don't think so anyway).
Hope you guys can help :)

Hey Sam,
On the bottom left at 35:40, is bluffing the river when checked to ever a good option, considering K J got there and you hold a K? Or does top pair have too much showdown value?
Great vid as always, keep it up :)

It's the sunday storm, you definitely shouldn't 3-bet such a weak hand when there are SO many spots to make easy chips in such a soft tournament. I admire your gung-ho approach though ;)
