Well, in the first hand you had a 69% chance to win which is good. But you also had a 31% chance to lose which is pretty significant. Not exactly one outer territory. I'm sorrry for the loss but I'm sure you've won in this type of situation more than you lost. You made a good read and lost. It happens. If you had won, we wouldn't be reading about this hand would we. We never talk about the hands that held. Only the ones that didn't.

The second hand, with 77 I'm not sure why'd you call an all in with that board but I don't have all the facts like stack sizes and such. But I follow a "no set, no bet" policy. Even if I poked a probe bet in there once he came over the top all-in, I'd probably fold.

Second, it's not just you. You experience the same amount of bad beats as everyone else. You're just choosing to place more significance on them.

Third, telling us you raised to 135 only really helps if we're also told what the blinds are, whether it's a tournament or a ring game (tournament, I suspect), what position you were in, what reads you have and what the stack sizes are.

If you want some meaningful analysis on this hand (or any other one, for that matter) there are plenty of people here that are happy to help. Just post it in the hand analysis section and ask questions about whatever's giving you trouble.

If you just wanna vent that's cool too, best place for it is the brags, beats and variance forum though.

Yeah, everyone takes the same bad beats over time, but when you hit a wicked run of them it's hard not to feel picked on a little...There have even been times where I am in dominant position, but am afraid to call cause of a bad streak...I typically still do, and I typically lose for some reason. I really don't mind taking these bad beats, it's when they pop up too frequently in a small period of time where you want to pull your hair out.
