Posted by jsikonja: Lost with the last 4 AA i got, with good preflop raise is just such b******t its driving me nuts...
Either its straight, 4 spade Flush or double pair or vs AQ - 3x Q its... BLAH�!!!�!!#"#
had downswings before but this is just... nothing goes ffs
Yeah sometimes, things are really sh1t and disappointing... It happens, just keep your head up, take a break and think: "On average I can't be unlucky, I'll have an upswing coming undoubtly (once)!"

Yeah this is bound to happens and you cannot do anything to that and just have a good bankroll and hope the swing will blow over and your good cards like AA, KK will get the money in for you mate. Also work on the metal game, as swing can be real pain in the arse and you can lose your bankroll if you are not careful with tilt and swing. I am talking from experience lost a dew bankrolls like that , so i know what i am talking about swing and tilt. Anyway good luck mate and have fun at the tables!

you can look at this from 3 different angles:
1) 17 degrees from the south (aka optimist) - hey you only lost with last 4 AA dealt, it's not like last 40 2) 24 degrees from the basement (aka pessimist) - it's all rigged i'm telling ya, they are after me, fcukin morons, it's a complete bullsh1t 3) well there usually is option 3, but i am too bored to write

I flopped quads last night and my internet froze on the turn. never been frustrated in my life as the turn gave straight opportunity's for the other player.
On to your frustration, it happens even though we all think AA is a guaranteed winning hand 100% of the time but is not.

calm take it easy already will come best time and I'm sure your luck will change, remember that poker luck has a lot of influence, not just about abilities, you also need to have luck, I hope that in your next post you say to us on winning hands, and the money you won, what I tell you I wish your luck will change and you can get good results.

That sort of things make anyone go ballistic It´s so frustrating but not unusual at poker AA is for me the best hand but it can alwauys be beaten But like every thing else there is the other side when you got to beat a pocket aces you fill over the moon Well it´s just poker and that´s why "WE" LOVE THIS GAME

If its only for losing with AA 4 times in a row I"'m far from gooing ballistic... If I lose 30 buy ins in a session I might, but losing with premium, even with AA, is something a player had to get used to.

I am joining av1966 here. I couldnt stand losing them 4 times in a row. At least the same day. That would have been the end for me playing for that specific day. And there is no chance, that i can get used to it losing with aces, no matter what.
