I like playing heads up style most, but have tried to be more conservative in the other games as I've been told patience is everything...?...and have got a weird style of betting now, which doesn't really suit my game at all. Result is I'm underbetting hands and not pushing at the right time or making too small a bet when I'm in a good position... back to the drawing board...

I have learnt quite a bit from washerwoman as far as playing heads up at the end of a tourney...
I had a nasty habit of coming 2nd after getting to 2nd and then she taught me how to take the villain out at the end...

Now out of those 110 hands how many were you on the button or cut off and everyone folded to you? Every time that happened or close to it there was a chance to take down a pot. Who cares what you have, if your getting cards that bad then you have to try to steal a few blinds in there somewhere and late position is where to do it from. Just cause you have a bad run of cards is no reason why you couldn't at least take a few small pots. Sounds like you have a lot to learn about position to me. Everyone that plays poker has had plenty of bad runs but that is what separates skilled players and people that play for fun. From late position the range of hands to play is huge for most people. Don't worry about the cards changing, they will in time, you need to figure out how to take down dead pots and steal blinds long enough to see them change.

Only at Poker Stars at a final table satelite can you play 110 hands worth crap and finally move allin from the small blind and the big blind has a better hand then all 110 hands you patiently folded or didnt hit on. That site makes millions a day keeping the bad players and building that cheat machine.

I'd suggest that the BIGGEST leak in your game isn't lack of patience, nor is it the pokersites that are to blame. Nope,... your biggest leak is that you're a huge whiner. Anyone who's played a decent volume of tournament-style NLHE has experienced all of this & more and accepts that this is poker, it is the nature of the game. It's not 'chess' we're playing & in spite of playing great & getting it in good (&/or setting up an overly-aggress villain to 4bet shove over your AA, etc.), there's no guarantee that you'll win. That's poker..... get over it! (seriously,... have you read thru alll of your posts?.. there's a recurring theme.. 'rigged'... 'pokersite cheats', etc. <<---- a sure sign of a novice.
If you actually wish to become a better player, time to get over it.

WELL IT CAN BE SAID ...THOSE THAT WHINE THE MOST WINS THE MOST ...JUST SUM REVERSE PHYSH(FISH)COLOGY..LOL SAYS PLAYFUL

[jbjj]

dude it's so rigged...poker stars.com controls profit, so it's impossible to do it for a living. notice he said lose alot...and that's getting in w the best hand every time almost. And you lose like 45% of time. As well as never getting lucky when your behind. In the satelites good players never get lucky. Poker Stars is a cheathole and i bet my life on it. I have a 75% ROI over 4,000 gamezs and im a 1000% sure it's rigged. play their satelites over and over and see it for yourself

I see that you folded 110 straight hands, but what were the hands you and your opponent played? Truth be told, with every online site using random number generators, the best hands preflop will not always hold up. This is the variance that is involved in poker so no matter what, AK loses to 72 1 of every 3 times over time. So when someone hits a 1 outer or continuously outdraws you, don't tilt and continue to play solid poker until your fortunes turn around.

Good solid advice willie but your talking to a wall trying to give this guy some counseling, unless you join the poker stars are evil cheaters club this dude won't even hear you
