Ive been getting massively coolered in big pots the last 6 or 7 sessions and it just seems unrealistic to me. Playing 1/2 and 1/3 this year and ive been up $5,000 and now down to $3,000 because of this wild negative variance and bad luck. I know no one wants to hear bad luck stories but im just going to vent anyway, lol

Losing KK to AA (i get it, it happens, thats just one)

Losing set over set

Losing King flush to nut flush

Losing coin flip hands where I might have monster combo draw where I get the money in and lose, which i actually may have been the favorite in (open ended straight flush draw)

The most brutal one - losing with a full house to flopped quads (they had pocket 4s and 2 4s hit the flop while I flopped a boat!)

Flopping a lower straight to the nuts straight.

And most recently flopping top 2 pair to a set and getting the money in.

Playing 1/3 stakes. Im UTG and raise to $10 with KJo and go heads up with someone that raises to $25. I make the call.

Flop comes KJ8 with 2 hearts, and I have no hearts. I bet $25 with my top 2 pair. Villan raises me to $75. Im putting him either on AA or maybe AK because its highly unlikely he has KK or JJ since im blocking both. Perhaps hes trying to protect his AA or AK from the heart draw, or had hearts himself. Either way, we both have around $350 in our stack and I had to protect my monster, so I go all in, he calls and flips over KK for top set. To add to that he boats up on the turn with another 8, but that didnr matter since i was basically drawing dead anyway. Crazy thing is he didnt even snap call when I went all in. Frustrating hand.
