Please indulge a little whining. I know no one here wants to hear it, but my wife especially doesn't care so I have no one to talk to.
I have been on the worst run of luck for the past 3 weeks or so playing Sit-n-Go's on Pokerstars. In that time I've played 16 events and finished in the money twice, with two second place finishes. And it's not necessarily the losing that's bothering me, it's how painful it has become: getting my own AA cracked and eliminated by A6 rivering trips and then an hour later getting knocked out myself by a slowplayed AA against my top pair. Perhaps the worst was last night when I made a late pre-flop move with KK and got called by an equal-sized stack with 55... and I don't even have to tell you what came on the flop.
Anyway, I know this is all cyclical and I'm going to start shitting gold bricks anytime now, but damn this is painful to endure.
(and this is just contributing to my planned post on crazy all-in calls... maybe I will get to that this weekend)
