This morning i went to play a zoom session and lost a buy in with K K.
Then i went to play sit&go session and in one game i had a good stack i lost a hand with J J and in the same game another one with 10 10. In another game i lost one with A A .
After that i went to snap on 888 and lost one hand with K K.
And after in a tournament first hand J J that i shoved with called by K and the K on the river.
I do not remember having lost so many hands i this short period of time with good pocket pairs.

You have a good tolerance from what i read here. I would have stopped for the day after playing in the first site only. Too harsh, keep trying after so many fails for me. That for real money games. For freerolls is another thing

i only play AA all in sometimes even KK, but the rest of pocket pairs i just call, but if this was cash games and i lost so many times, i would not touch my PC for a week, and had to buy a new monitor coz the old one would have a hole in it

well maybe you should consider changing the direction of your ship and play say with 26o and 36o only? naah that's my territory and you do need lots of experience if you want to become the 26o pro and make a living from that. better just stick with your KK's and JJ's and sacrifice a goat to the poker gods, that might do the trick.
It's not that hard getting used to it since it just variance after all. I would not make any consequences out of these losses it could happen with anybody in a wy more worse way too. You were unlucky in this period, that's it. It will change.
Damnit Pinotte - thats some bad luck >the one i have - once i lost AA hand 5 times in row so i know how frustrating this is. So very sorry u had that bad luckand i wish you that dosent happend no more. I can only tell u keep ya head up and NEVER BACK DOWN - u can even put a soundtrack of the movie - think its gona help - it helped me. Good luck friend.

PINOTTE that is amazingly unfortunate. The thing to remember everyone is that a good pocket pair is only really a super advantage pre flop and it's amazing how many people will call an all in shove with nothing, which totally undermines your shove with pocket pair!
