All the money went in before the flop, and it was a 70/30 flip, which per definition you will lose 3 out of 10 times. Sure its a wacky runout, where you both make a full house, and his is better. But why does it matter, if you lose on AT822, AKQA7, QJ773 or 9862T? Its just, that you felt excited, when you flopped a set, but as the outcome show, its not over, till all cards are dealt. So in many ways its better to not even look but focus on other tables instead, where you have decisions to make.

If you want to improve, you need to focus on hands, where you had difficult decisions to make. In this hand you made the only play, that makes any sort of sense. And then the rest simply does not matter. Leaning to focus only on things, that matter, is the key to becoming a successfull poker player :)

thanks fundiver, I know exactly what your saying I got money in good and I would make the same decision every time again and again, usually im not one to moan about spots like this because for every bad beat there are more wins, but ive gone from playing at 10bb/ (10,000 hands) to 1bb (11000) hands from getting my money in playing for stacks and being the odds on favourite only to getting sucked out on. Now I know how Patrick Antonius felt playing robl Omaha.

This is just completely normal variance. For a short handed game like 6-max the standard deviation over 10.000 hands is around 10 BB / 100. This mean, that 30% of the time you will be running 10 BB / 100 below or above long term average, and 5% of the time you will be running 20 BB / 100 below or above average.

The bad run will never end Jarud, thank you very much for sharing with us. You gotta prepare yourself for situations like this because they are going to happen more often than you think.
It wasn't so bad because both weren't 100 blinds ES, so we have nothing to complain, but on the other hand, to be grateful for, because we have this amazing forum that allow us to improve ourselves.
Let's thank CardsChat and stop complaining every single mathematical event where we were ahead and ended up losing.

Regards;

My friend there’s nothing to worry about in this hand if your playing these games regularly and bankrolled for it you shouldn’t be worrying about losing 25 or so BB keep grinding and playing KK perfectly
