I've had so many bad beats, it's not even funny,but I'm on a run of them in tournies and I'm not sure what to do about it. It's definitely affecting my play and I'm just watching my bankroll shrink. It just seems like no matter what I do in MTTs I can't place high in the money anymore and the last week, I can't even make the money. I'm thinking these small buy-in tournies are just not worth it anymore. These loose-passive nutjobs are making all the money!!!OK, here's the hand that sent me over the edge tonight. Flame away, I know I shouldn't have moved all-in, a pot-sized bet would have been better, but I just didn't want someone to hit a draw on me and wanted to take it down right there on the flop.PokerStars Game #1353763063: Tournament #5833549, Hold'em No Limit - Level VI (100/200) - 2005/03/14 - 01:33:42 (ET)Table '5833549 71' Seat #7 is the buttonSeat 1: Rollurown (4775 in chips) Seat 2: bull985dog (5300 in chips) Seat 3: poguemahone1 (12815 in chips) Seat 4: 4dilly (9740 in chips) Seat 5: ALLNKID (8586 in chips) Seat 6: emcclarigan (10580 in chips) Seat 7: gamblinsarge (2763 in chips) Seat 8: mr.naxx (1755 in chips) Seat 9: nycpokerguy9 (5074 in chips) mr.naxx: posts small blind 100nycpokerguy9: posts big blind 200*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to poguemahone1 [As Ad]Rollurown: calls 200bull985dog: folds poguemahone1: raises 800 to 10004dilly: calls 1000ALLNKID: calls 1000emcclarigan: folds gamblinsarge: folds mr.naxx: folds nycpokerguy9: folds Rollurown: folds *** FLOP *** [8h 7d 3d]poguemahone1: bets 11815 and is all-in4dilly: folds ALLNKID: calls 7586 and is all-in*** TURN *** [8h 7d 3d] [Jh]*** RIVER *** [8h 7d 3d Jh] [5d]*** SHOW DOWN ***poguemahone1: shows [As Ad] (a pair of Aces)ALLNKID: shows [Kd 9d] (a flush, King high)ALLNKID collected 18672 from pot$20+$2 757 person tourney, I was 13th in chips at this point, 2 hours into it. I went out with Pocket eights a couple of hands later and finished 187th. I can usually bust the bubble, but not lately. Does anyone do well in these MTTs and if so, what the heck are you doing to avoid the minefields? I'm pretty consistent at making the money in live tournies and then find myself blowing my winnings on the online MTTs. Anyway, I'm just blowing off steam and posting here, please don't flame me too much, kinda sux to be kicked when down ya know...

That punk that called me with the K9, just called an all-in preflop with his last 9,000. He had QT!!! He was up against AA and KK and didn't draw out on them. What a muppet... He did make the money though, no justice.
