Isn't it the most frustrating thing that, knowing you're playing the best of your abilities and making all the right reads, yet continually you keep getting drawn out repeatedly when you're at least a 3-1 favorite? Following are some hands that knocked me out of consecutive tournaments today. I am an aggressive player and it has worked for me - just saying this because I know I will hear it again.
