Good day. Lately I have discovered a very rare frequency of my high pocket pairs losing. Out of my last roughly 12 hands I've lost about 10 of them from having a smaller pair catch a set or two lower cards catching two pair. I'm also going to mention I'm losing an absurd amount of coin flips as well. Those are not too bad though, it's the 80% hands i should be winning half the time. At this point, It's actually profitable to fold any pocket pair including aces judging by my previous outcomes. Perhaps should I adjust to playing without them? Sorry I was only able to scrape up one hand because the rest were pretty much folding like a maniac.

So I guess the question is should I adjust my game and fold every pocket pair since it's extremely unprofitable to play them, or continue to constantly lose my money? Btw this is only happening on pokerstars at the moment so i must change sites possibly. Thanks anyone for advice.
