Beyond absurd

Not the hand but being 0 from 20 allin preflop with aces. I hate to think of the odds. This was the icing on the cake and i found myself laughing hysterically. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing...

Bring the pain

I'm on my biggest down-swing since playing poker. I don't whine about bad beats and don't find them particularly interesting. I'm finding that variance is well and truly biting me on the butt when my stack goes in and I'm only winning the smaller pots. Today was a typical example where leading up to this hand I kept getting run down every time i got my stack in with at least a 60% edge. This time, I knew i was coolered but went with it anyway. I'm curious to look up how far behind i was.
