You know I feel the same way at Carbon during certain times and it's just funny it seems like it has to be someone in support watching me and they just don't want me to do well. I know that's not so, but it sure makes one feel something is up at times.

It usually gets better! &
Not tonight it doesnt.
I am in a $2 rebuy, got a reasonable stack and pick up QQ on the SB. Button min raises so I re-raise to 4 x his bet. The player on the BB shoves for 40% of my stack.. So naturally I call. He turns over AJ. I mean come on AJ into a raise and a re-raise. He hits a runner runner straight on me..
OK time to rebuild, so I build up my stack again again, I have the BB with Q6, The same player limps from UTG and the SB calls. Flop comes over Q J 6 so I've hit top and bottom pair. The idiot shoves all in. I tank, then make the call. He's got KQ offsuit. I am way ahead and he's drawing.
He only hits a J on the river counterfeiting my two pair.
Back to being shortstacked again.
Same player again.. I pick up KK in mid position and I shove the lot in. 9 x BB raise. He calls instantly and turns over K 10 suited. I've got him absolutely crushed. He somehow manages to hit a runner runner flush on my and out I go.
All this within 20 minutes. Every time I go in with the better hand and the same player screws me up royally.. And guess what.. he was russian.

Everyone does every now and then. You should have put the movie, and PS even has a very cool way of doing it now, we just have to click a button and insta vid hand comes, very nice, they are always improving, that’s why everyone loves them, except when things like your hand happen. So you had 99, there were three at the game pre-flop, you saw the flop, 1st to talk, went all-in, the QQ went all-in, and 33 also did it, unquestionable, and the turn ended up screwing you. You know it could happen, don’t tilt.
