Sick run...of bullshit
LOL
Ya so ever since that AA being cracked by 22 it has been all down hill. I haven't really played live at all and have been trying to recover online. The day after I had Aces cracked, I had Kings cracked in the same way by 9's.
This whole week has been a downward spiral, just loss after loss. So pretty much I have stopped playing right now to find out what's going on. I don't know if it's me or just a bad run of cards...let me give you an example.
Early in a tournament I get dealt AK(clubs, hearts) on the BB, first position guy calls the 200 blind, the guy before the button raises it to 900, I just decide to call and see what comes on the flop, the first position guy re-raises to 1700 all in...the raiser also goes all in for 2500 and I have 3700 in front of me. I am more worried about the first position guy then this guy on the button, I figure he is trying to isolate with something like pocket 6,7,8's. I call the all-ins. The first position guy flips over Ace Queen(hearts, clubs) then raiser flips over...Jd 3c off.....How do you think this is going to end.
The flop comes 9, 10, Jack...two diamonds. The turns comes the Queen of diamonds, I hit my inside straight, the river a 3 of diamonds....giving the guy with J 3 a flush.
Lets go over this hand, raise to 900, I call = 2100 in the pot (including blinds), once the guy goes all in for 1500 more above what the 200 he already had in we now have 3600 in the pot. The guy with J 3 looks down at his cards and thinks wow these are great cards...he has committed 900 and is left with 1400, so he is getting more then 2 to 1 on his money...but with me behind him and a first position re-raise he has to figure his cards aren't going to be good and at best he will be 22% to win, if his J is taken, like I have AJ or something he is an 8% to win.
I mean the blinds weren't that big at 100/200 and 1400 is 100 below his starting stack...I just don't get the call, maybe if I hadn't called and he was heads up alright, but with an all in and another player after you, you have to get rid that of shit.
BTW I have started to play on Full Tilt Poker...and it is making me go on tilt. I have never played so many bad players, I need to make back my money and leave or go broke and leave simple as that. It's like I am playing Pot NL Holdem...everyone makes these huge pot sized bets...its very odd, great when I have trapped them but otherwise very annoying.

No one likes a bad run of cards - but anyone who is good at poker should LOVE bad players, not the opposite!
Best thing that can happen? Mr. J3 calls next time. And the time after that.
I'll always remember Greg Raymer's comment after busting out around 25th in '05 WSOP main event: Poker is not a game of winning or losing, it's a game of making the correct decision.
Also - have you read phil gordon's book? Don't internalize bad runs of cards or bad beats - nothing is ever 100% preflop. I always laugh when I see the fool at red hot raising to 1k (BB: 100) preflop - you just know he has JJ. Profitable long term is what matters.
