I played five tournaments today within the span of 6 hours. I know we have had bad beats here and there but I feel everytime I'am knocked out of a tourney, I am always going in way far ahead.......and then the river (except for one). Does anybody here see anything wrong in the way I played these hands? They are the last hands of the five tourney's I played in.

you didn't play bad. you just had a run of bad luck. all you can ask for is to keep getting your chips in with the best of it.

[Horoeschio]

I don't see any mistakes either.

I've had the same feeling for years because I rarely ever get my chips in bad after the first couple levels. Fact is, you're gonna play very few tournaments in your life, where you'll win most if not all showdowns. So you'll have to work on increasing your stack during the middle stage by 3-betting against tight players, stealing the blinds, etc. so in case you do lose a coinflip, you're still good to go for the next one.

It's not easy with most online tournament structures being very fast. I'm still trying to figure out the best strategy myself but I believe that in the long run, aggression will pay off.
