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.
