Bluff Magazine, available at newstands, has online player tournament profiles. The best player, at the lowest microlimit level at Poker Stars, has not been found in ring games, but this player has been playing in tournaments for over two years and done well. Those tournaments must be no-limit, because they are so few fixed-limit tournaments relatively speaking. In another article, the playing style of this player will be described.
The King played for three hours and for the first two hours won just two pots. Those two pots were won with just high cards and the pots were very small. Having a run of trash cards for two hours happens and is hard to deal with. Another scenario, that is hard to deal with, is in the first round of play, where the button goes around the table, when you are dealt several great hands and lose them all, because the other five cards were of no help. To have the buy-in plummet in several minutes is disheartening.
The ups and downs of poker are hard to take. Sometimes, in the third hour, the trash cards keep coming.
