Here is what I have to say about this...I once read in a post that you will eventually run worse then you ever thought possible. For you currently, running QQ into AA is an anomaly. Not only is it not, it is statistically a probability that it will in fact happen MORE than once in your poker career.
As much as it sucks you have to brush it off and move on. Here is a concept I have come to slowly understand over my last couple weeks of run horrible...
Being results orientated and you
Ztech, I hate to tell you this but your being results orientated. Any time you make a decision based on the outcome this is called being results orientated. "But revo, I knew my QQ was a monster against his range so I was playing smart poker!". Yes you were, but where the problem comes in is you began to count chips before they headed your way.
What you should have been thinking was well my QQ is going to be 60% against villains range. I need to get as many chips in as I can so when I do win I can make the most long term. Say hypothetically villain shoves in 500 chips and you call, total pot is 1000. Long term you don't win the 1000 chips, you win 600 of it. You probably know this already but this supplements my next statement.
Every time a hand is over, poker odds reset themselves. There is no rule that says just because you ran QQ into AA 3 times over 750 hands doesn't mean it cant happen again. Not only is it statistically probable but I can guarantee it will happen again. Stop thinking so relatively! It only sticks out in your head because its AA and QQ. Why don't you start a thread every time you run any PP into a higher PP? Look threw your hands and I bet youll see how often it happens.
One last thing that I would like to talk about. What a majority of people think is luck, isnt luck. Getting QQ beat by JJ isn't luck, thats probability. It is not bad etiquette to put a "bad beat" on someone. The only real bad beat is when someone makes a play that nets them -EV and they get paid for it. But its only a bad beat because of the pot odds or the ICM related to it. The cards don't change their odds ever.
IMO real luck is a silent X factor. For instance, when AJKHoosier1 open shoved 44 in his last tourney win as the chip leader and got called by Pokerccinni with 88. AJK spiked a 4 and sent Cinni to the rail (not bad beat, statistical). A few days ago I tried the same play at a final table and ran my 22 into a bigger pair only I never hit the 2 and crippled my stack. So where is the luck? Luck IMO is situational. Its when the bad beat happens that sets lucky people apart from unlucky. Because truth be told, we wont all be faced with the same situations in our lifetime.
WOW! Sorry that was so long..
